The beautiful white lighthouse that dominates the Cabo from the top of its 26 meters was inaugurated in 1881 when the village was born. Several ships were shipwrecked off the coast of this singular place, and its name comes from Polloni, the captain of the ship Nuestra Señora del Rosario, which ran aground here in 1753. You can go up there to admire the view of the Cabo, as well as the colony of sea lions dozing on the rocks. Take time to listen to the popular song Doce segundos de oscuridad by Jorge Drexler (Uruguay's only Oscar winner).

Le phare est le véritable emblème de Cabo Polonio. D'en haut, on a une vue panoramique sur la pointe et ses plages. Le top: la colonie de lions de mer au pied du phare! Instant magique...

Le phare n'offre en lui-même que peu d'intérêt. Les roches qui ceinturent le fort sont impressionnantes par leur dimension, leur texture et leur couleur et surtout par la population bruyante et mal odorante qu'elles abritent : une colonie de loups de mer qui stationnement ici toute l'année.
