About Sandbore Caye Lighthouse
The Sandbore Caye Lighthouse is a square pyramidal steel skeletal tower standing 25 meters tall, located off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea. Originally white, the tower is now painted red with a white band at the top. It emits a white light with one flash every 10 seconds, visible for 14.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is accessible to the public, with the nearest port being Caye Caulker, approximately 34.8 kilometers away. This structure helps guide vessels through the waters near the Belize Barrier Reef.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for directing ships through the complex network of reefs and shoals characteristic of Belize's coastal waters, preventing groundings and ensuring safe transit for commercial and recreational vessels.
