About Juan Grande Northbound Range Front Lighthouse
The Juan Grande Northbound Range Front is a 15-meter square skeletal tower located near Cristóbal, Panama, on the north side of the Panama Canal. Its structure is painted white with a black vertical stripe and carries a matching daymark. This operational steel tower emits a continuous green flashing light. It stands approximately 3 kilometers from the Panama Canal, serving as a key navigational reference point. Access to the tower is restricted to boat only.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for ships transiting the Panama Canal northbound, providing a critical front alignment to ensure safe passage through a complex and heavily trafficked waterway. Its precise green light helps mariners maintain their course, preventing groundings or collisions within the narrow confines of the Canal.
