About Sabine Pass East Jetty Lighthouse
This lighthouse, established in 1924, stands at the terminus of the 3.5-mile Sabine Pass East Jetty in Louisiana. The structure is a 10-meter tall square cylindrical skeletal tower, painted with a diamond-shaped black and white daymark. Its focal height is 13 meters, and it emits a single white flash. The original lighthouse was replaced in the 1990s. The jetty itself is frequently submerged by high tides, making the light essential for navigation in Sabine Pass.
Why it matters: The light warns mariners of the 3.5-mile Sabine Pass East Jetty, which is often submerged at high tide, presenting a hazard at the entrance to the Sabine River.
