Between 1866 and 1925, a lenticular light operated in the Esposende bar, mounted on an iron chandelier, inside the fort, at the entrance to the bar.
In the opening speech of the July 28, 1881 session of the Lighthouses and Beacons Commission, Councilor Guilhermino Augusto de Barros, its president, mentioned at one point:
«(...) The pharolins of the Municipalities of Vianna and Espozende are as is for use outdoors, and were born from the requirements of the occasion, the second being destined to be inserted with a light that was never placed (...)».
This light that existed in Esposende and was the forerunner of the lighthouse was, curiously, one of the first oil-powered lights, along with installations in Viana do Castelo, Ericeira, Belém, Medo Alto (right bank of the Guadiana), Forte do Ilhéu (Madeira) and Ponta Delgada (S. Miguel); until then, the fuel used had been olive oil.
On April 10, 1925, the current lighthouse came into operation, in an iron tower with a height of 15 meters and an altitude of 21 meters. Apparatus No. 2 (catadioptric dioptric apparatus 30 cm in diameter) continued to operate, eventually being replaced in 1926 by another of the 5th order (187.5 mm focal length). The illuminating device was a 2-wick oil lamp.
In 1938 the lighthouse was electrified with connection to the public network and in 1943 new infrastructure was built to house a lighthouse keeper, fuel deposit, material deposit and forge house.
A fog detector for automatic start of the sound signal was installed in 1996 (LIEX 710-23). On November 23, 1999, the illuminating system was once again modified, with the “PRB 46” being removed and a new “TRB-400 Max Lumina” system being installed in its place.
From 2003 onwards, the lighthouse was stripped of lighthouse keepers, becoming the responsibility of the Montedor lighthouse.
