Location & Light Range
About Portland Breakwater B Head Lighthouse
This grey, square concrete tower stands 8 meters tall and is topped by a short mast. Its focal plane is 11 meters above the water, and it emits an occulting red light every 15 seconds. Located at the northwest end of the detached northeast breakwater, it frames the north entrance to Portland Harbour. The tower's geographic range is 10.7 nautical miles. It is operated by the Portland Harbour Authority and is only accessible by boat.
Why it matters: This light, along with another, precisely defines the north entrance to Portland Harbour, guiding vessels and preventing them from encountering the breakwater.
