Ponta da Marca Lighthouse

The Ponta da Marca Lighthouse is not mentioned in the provided wikitext, instead it describes Tigres Island. Tigres Island is located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Angola, in the Namibe Province. The island has a total area of 98 square kilometers and is approximately 20 kilometers long and 6 kilometers wide.

The island was once a peninsula, known as Península dos Tigres, with a well-established fishing village. However, in 1962, the ocean broke through the isthmus, turning it into an island overnight. The island is now uninhabited, with the former village and pump station at the Cunene river mouth being abandoned and reclaimed by the desert.

There is a lighthouse on the island, with a conical masonry tower, however, it is not the main focus of the text. The island's history and transformation from a peninsula to an island is the primary subject of the provided information. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the specific year the lighthouse was built or its current status.
