About Cape Cod Canal Entrance Range Rear Lighthouse
This 16-meter square skeletal tower stands on the grounds of the Canal Generating Plant, about a mile southeast of the Cape Cod Canal's mouth. It displays a white light that flashes once every 6 seconds. The tower is red with a white vertical stripe, and a rectangular daymark shares this coloring. This rear range light functions with a front range light to guide vessels entering the canal. The structure includes a small metal equipment shelter at its base. It remains operational and is located near Sandwich.
Why it matters: This range rear light is indispensable for safe navigation through the Cape Cod Canal, a heavily trafficked shortcut connecting Cape Cod Bay and Buzzards Bay.
