The Île Tamara lighthouse is a lighthouse in Guinea. It was constructed on Île Tamara, outermost of the Îles de Los, in 1906, and has been active since that time. It serves as the landfall light for Conakry. The lighthouse tower itself is only 33 feet (10 m) tall; however, as it was constructed on top of a large boulder, its focal plane is considerably higher, at 311 feet (95 m).
