Isla San Pedro Lighthouse

This cylindrical fiberglass tower stands 9 meters tall, with a focal height of 35 meters. It displays a white light with a single red horizontal band. The light emits one white flash every 10 seconds, visible for 16.2 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated atop Isla Wager at the western entrance to the Canal Messier. It serves vessels navigating the Canal Messier and the Inland Passage for southbound journeys after rounding Cabo Raper.

Why it matters: The lighthouse is indispensable for southbound ships navigating the Inland Passage after rounding Cabo Raper, providing a clear entry point to the Canal Messier. It also assists northbound vessels that must cross the challenging Golfo de Peñas to reach the cape. Its unique status as a staffed naval station operating an aeronautical beacon underscores its critical, multi-modal role in regional safety.
