Isla Mangrove (San Carlos) Range Rear Lighthouse

The Isla Mangrove (San Carlos) Range Rear light is a 27-meter square skeletal tower painted white, situated inland from its corresponding front light in San Carlos, Mexico. This structure forms part of a range system designed to guide vessels navigating into or out of the port. With a geographic range of 14.7 nautical miles, its white light operates from a focal height of 27 meters. The site surrounding the tower is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Its operational status confirms its ongoing role in maritime traffic management for the region.

Why it matters: This range rear light is indispensable for safe navigation into the port of San Carlos, providing a critical visual cue that aligns with the front range light to guide vessels through the designated channel.
