From Lagoa do Peixe to Cidreira beach, there are 100 km of dunes and deserted beaches. In the last 50 km, coming from the south, 3 lighthouses assist navigation on this coast without alternative protection for those at sea. The Farol da Solão is in the municipality of Mostardas and had its first installation in 1916 or previous years, and would have been an iron tower. The current concrete tower would have been built in 1924 by engineer Grécio Cavalcanti. It is one of the region's great landmarks, and its beauty and architecture are sparkling. Rubem Berta Lighthouse was inaugurated in 1996 and is about 30 meters high. It is on the beach of Dunas Altas, in Palmares do Sul. The Cidreira Lighthouse, on the beach of the same name, was built in 1933 in masonry. The illumination has a range of 30 km in the north direction. It is a tourist attraction in the region.
