About Jackson Reef Lighthouse
Jackson Reef Lighthouse stands as a red, cylindrical fiberglass tower 9 meters in height, built upon a square concrete base. This structure, with a focal height also at 9 meters, emits a red flash every 5 seconds. Its design incorporates both concrete and fiberglass materials, contributing to its durability. The lighthouse marks the northeast boundary of the reef system, providing a 10-nautical-mile geographic range. Visitors can access the site, though the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels navigating the Grafton Passage, warning them of the extensive Jackson Reef system, a significant underwater hazard.
