About Golden Gate Bridge South Pier Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1937, stands 12 meters tall on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge's south pier. Its square, Art Deco design incorporates a lantern at the top. The focal height of the light is 15 meters, and it emits a red flash every 15 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The structure was completed as part of the larger Golden Gate Bridge construction project, which spanned from 1933 to 1937. The site is accessible by boat, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse assists vessels navigating the waters directly beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, particularly near the south pier.
