About Camp Pendleton South Lighthouse
This concrete control tower, standing 15 meters tall with a focal plane of 16 meters, is located just off the beach at the U.S. Navy's West Coast LCAC Base. The square cylindrical structure, unpainted, serves the launching ramp for landing craft-air cushion hovercraft approximately 8 miles northwest of Oceanside. Its light emits a white flash every 4 seconds, visible for 12.2 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed due to its military function. It is situated near the LCAC launching ramp, identified by Admiralty number G3732.
Why it matters: This control tower is uniquely important for the U.S. Navy's West Coast LCAC Base, specifically guiding landing craft-air cushion hovercraft during their amphibious operations.
