Laguna Madre Range Rear Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Laguna Madre Range Rear Lighthouse
This skeletal steel tower stands 19 meters tall and functions as the rear range light for the Laguna Madre system, guiding outbound vessels toward the Brazos Santiago Pass. Its red tower features a white vertical stripe and is mounted on a square platform supported by piles. The light emits an occulting green signal that flashes every 6 seconds. An earlier iteration of this light was photographed in 2011. The site is open for visitors, although the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is South Padre Island, located just 0.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The precise green occulting light ensures mariners can accurately align their course when transiting the Brazos Santiago Pass, contributing to the safe passage of maritime traffic in the Laguna Madre region.
