Sainte-Croix Range Rear Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Sainte-Croix Range Rear Lighthouse
The Sainte-Croix Range Rear light, established in 1899, consists of a 16-meter-tall square skeletal mast. This structure carries an orange slatted daymark with a vertical black stripe. The original lighthouse was replaced in 1935. This active light emits a continuous white or green beam, with its color depending on the vessel's approach direction. It is situated on the north side of Quebec's Route 132, southeast of the front light, and has a geographic range of 22 nautical miles.
Why it matters: As a range rear light, Sainte-Croix works with its front counterpart to provide a precise line of approach. Its directional color-changing light offers critical guidance for vessels to maintain their course through specific channels.
