Farol de Pedra de Lume is a lighthouse in the eastern point of the island of Sal in northeastern Cape Verde approximately 1 km northeast of the village and the small port of Pedra de Lume and 5 km east of the city of Espargos, it is near the caldera of Pedra de Lume. It is accessed by a dirt road linking the Espargos-Pedra de Lume Road.

The chapel was completed in 1853 and was one of the island's first church, the lighthouse was competed in 1855. During the late 19th century and the early 20th century when ship traffic was as its highest, the lighthouse was not as active as to Mindelo's and Santo Antão's as possibly no ship traffic occurred at that location. Its main activity is after the 1950s when more ships passed around and further east of the island mainly without stopping at any of the archipelago's ports. Today, some of the ships passes near the lighthouse.

The lighthouse tower has a modern metal column 5 meters in height. The front is made up of wood of a pyramidal form 8 meters tall. Located nearby is a small chapel, its wall color is white, made out of tile and black and white horizontal bands painted on the roof and the edges, around it serves as a diurnal marking.
