About Pointe Sainte-Barbe Feu Postérieur Lighthouse
Built in 1876, Pointe Sainte-Barbe Feu Postérieur is a rear range light situated on the heights of the point, 340 meters east-southeast of its front counterpart. The structure is a square, three-story keeper's house made of masonry, topped with a tall peaked roof. This distinctive building, painted white, serves as both the light tower and a daymark. The light emits four red occulting flashes every 12 seconds. Its geographic range is 18.2 nautical miles. Visitors can access the site, but the tower is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This rear range light is essential for guiding ships into the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, aligning with its front light to mark the safe channel.
