About Capbreton Jetée Nord Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical concrete tower stands 6 meters tall at the end of Capbreton's breakwater mole. Constructed in 1975, it guides vessels with a red light that flashes once every 6 seconds. Its focal height reaches 13 meters, providing a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. The structure includes a small lantern room atop the tower. It was restored and repainted in 2009 to maintain its operational status. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This light specifically marks the end of the breakwater, ensuring safe entry into the port of Capbreton for fishing vessels and pleasure craft.
