About Little Pipe Cay Lighthouse
This conical stone tower stands 7 meters tall on a reef approximately 12 kilometers northwest of Staniel Cay in the Exuma chain. Its unpainted, rubblestone construction blends with the natural surroundings. Originally a daybeacon, a light was recently added to this historic structure. Its focal height is also 7 meters, providing a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. The site is accessible to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The light guides vessels through a narrow passage into Exuma Sound, warning them of the reef off Little Pipe Cay. Its conversion from a daybeacon to an active light demonstrates the continuing need for navigational aids in this area.
