About Princes Bay Range Front Lighthouse
This white, 21-meter-tall skeletal tower stands on the shoreline east of the historic Princes Bay Light, marking a turn in the Raritan Bay entrance channel. It is painted white and carries a rectangular daymark, red with a white vertical stripe. The tower emits a quick-flashing red light from a focal height of 21 meters. It is part of a range system with a rear light to guide vessels. The structure is located 1.7 kilometers from Tottenville.
Why it matters: This range front light is indispensable for safe navigation into Raritan Bay, specifically guiding ships through a critical turn where the main channel approaches the shoreline.
