Harbor Island Range Front Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Harbor Island Range Front Lighthouse
This active range light is a 19-meter square skeletal tower located about 0.2 km from Port Aransas. Its focal height is 20 meters, with a geographic range of 13.2 nautical miles. The light displays an isophase green flash every 2 seconds at night and an isophase white flash every 2 seconds during the day. It guides vessels through a dredged cut that has replaced the historic Aransas Pass for commercial traffic. The light is visible only when a vessel is aligned correctly.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for commercial vessels navigating the critical dredged cut, which serves as the primary gateway to regional ports. Its precise green and white isophase light ensures ships maintain the exact alignment necessary for safe passage through this engineered channel.
