About Whipple Bay Lighthouse
Also known as: Whipple Bay (Grays Harbor Replica)
This 7-meter octagonal tower, painted white with a black top, was built and first lit in 2013. It features a lantern and gallery. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every second. It stands on a promontory on the east side of Whipple Bay's entrance. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Port Hueneme, located 2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels safely into Whipple Bay, a critical protected harbor on the lake. Its green flash every second clearly delineates the entrance, preventing groundings on the promontory and ensuring smooth navigation for all watercraft.
