About Gulfport Harbor Lighthouse
This square white tower, standing 15 meters tall, was built in 2011 and first lit the same year. It features a black lantern and gallery and is supported by four legs, with a focal height of 14 meters. The light emits a single white flash every 4 seconds, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. Its construction was part of Gulfport's redevelopment efforts following Hurricane Katrina. The lighthouse is located at the entrance to Gulfport Marina, marking the entryway to the harbor.
Why it matters: The Gulfport Harbor Lighthouse's construction following Hurricane Katrina serves as a symbol of the city's resilience and redevelopment. Its design intentionally mirrors the historic Ship Island Lighthouse, creating an architectural connection to the area's maritime past.
