About Bonilla Island Lighthouse
Constructed and first illuminated in 1960 on Bonilla Island, this 10-meter cylindrical red fiberglass tower superseded a small beacon. The light, having a focal height of 36.5 meters, emits a white or red flash every 5 seconds, observable up to 16.5 nautical miles. The lighthouse itself is a white round fiberglass structure with a gallery and a red-painted lantern.
Why it matters: This light serves as a navigation aid for ships entering Hecate Strait, marking the island's location. It operates a light system with a 5-second interval, showing white or red.
