About Freeport Harbor Outbound Range Rear Lighthouse
This red skeletal steel tower stands 14.5 meters tall on the east side of Freeport Harbor's entrance. It features a white vertical stripe on its red exterior and carries a rectangular daymark. The structure's focal plane is 15 meters above the water, and it emits a fixed red light. Situated near Thunder Road in Surfside Beach, this rear range light is about half a kilometer from the nearest port. The grounds are accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: As a rear range light, it works with a front light to mark a precise outbound course for Freeport Harbor. This alignment is essential for the safe movement of vessels navigating the busy port and heading toward the Gulf of Mexico.
