About Kenosha Breakwater Lighthouse
The Kenosha Breakwater lighthouse is a 5-meter tall, round cylindrical D9 tower located on the breakwater 0.4 kilometers from Kenosha. It is painted white with one red horizontal band. From a focal height of 6 meters, it flashes red light every 4 seconds (Fl R 4s), with a visible range of 8.9 nautical miles. Access to the site is permitted, but the tower is closed to visitors. The light has been operational since its installation.
Why it matters: This navigational aid marks the Kenosha Breakwater, assisting ships in safely reaching the port and avoiding the breakwater structure. Its red flashing light offers a distinct reference for boats on Lake Michigan, particularly when visibility is reduced.
