Navy Range Rear Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Navy Range Rear Lighthouse
A 18-meter tall red steel skeletal tower with a white vertical stripe marks the Navy Range Rear light. Built in 2021, it stands on a platform supported by piles and displays an isophase green light every 6 seconds. This structure replaced an earlier light destroyed by Hurricane Sally in September 2020. The tower's focal height is also 18 meters, providing a geographic range of 12.7 nautical miles. It is located southwest of the Pensacola lighthouse, near Blue Angel Parkway, guiding vessels approaching the exit of Pensacola Bay.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for safe navigation, guiding vessels through the narrow exit from Pensacola Bay. Its green light, visible only on the precise range line, ensures ships maintain the correct course.
