Punta Mackinlay Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Punta Mackinlay Lighthouse
This fiberglass tower stands 7 meters tall on the southern tip of Isla Gable, an island that significantly constricts the Beagle Channel. Its focal height reaches 9.5 meters, emitting a red light with a characteristic of one flash every 2 seconds. The structure itself is distinctively shaped like a barbell and is painted in a red and white checkerboard pattern. Reaching this remote location requires passage by boat, with Puerto Williams being the nearest port, 7.1 kilometers away. The lighthouse provides visibility for a geographic range of 10.2 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of Isla Gable's southern end, which forms a critical narrowing in the Beagle Channel, making it a unique landmark in this remote waterway.
