In the middle of the century In the 17th century, a light (bonfire) would already be lit, as the book "News of National Monuments and Notable Buildings and Places in the Council of Setúbal" by M.M. Portela, and which describes the Tower of Outão:

"The Outão tower is built on a point or small cape next to the Arrábida mountain range, defending the Setúbal bar. (...) albuquerque, as a result of suspicions, of which he was fully cleared. *At the top of the cliffs overlooking that fortress there is an abandoned redoubt, where the lighthouse used to guide the vessels that sought the Setubal bar. By order of October 13, 1625, In the petition made by the maritime corporation at the Corpo Santo house, for a lighthouse to indicate the bar, the following reads: Que el Castelhano de Oton put this lighthouse giving the supplicants, what is necessary for him."

This lighthouse was originally installed in Serra da Arrábida and its construction in that location dates from 1775. In 1857 it underwent some modifications, including the replacement of the catoptric reflector by a Fresnel lenticular device (the second to be installed after S. Maria), in 1863 it was transferred to the Outão Sanatorium inside the fort, at the entrance to the port of Setúbal.

Little or nothing is known about the primitive material that equipped this lighthouse. However, like the others built in the 17th century, it was XVIII, equipped with a tree of several Argand lamps with parabolic reflectors running on oil.

In 1917 a new lantern and a fixed 4th order optical apparatus were installed, the light source being a lamp no. 2, running on oil, with fixed white light.

From March 1916 to December 1918, the lighthouse was out due to the 1st World War.

It was electrified with energy from the public network in 1954, with the light source becoming electric incandescence (250W 220V lamp). It went from fixed white light to red occultation light.

It ceased to be manned by lighthouse keepers in 1982. The entire Sado signaling began to be assisted by the Tagus signaling, located in the Direction of Faros. In the 1990s, after work carried out on the houses in Amêijoa, two lighthouse keepers were relocated and in 2003 it was reduced to one.

In 1984, it was automated and the electrical installation was remodeled.
