About Port Mansfield Range Rear Lighthouse
This 22-meter square skeletal steel tower, standing on a concrete base, aids navigation in Port Mansfield. Its red daymark features a white vertical stripe, and the tower itself is painted red with a similar stripe. The range light emits a red occulting flash every 4 seconds, with a focal height of 77 meters. Its geographic range extends to 22.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower is closed. It is located one block west of Red Fish Bay Road on Beacon Street.
Why it matters: This range light is essential for guiding vessels through the artificial cut connecting the Laguna Madre to the Gulf of Mexico, a passage critical for the local fishing industry.
