About Berbice Entrance Range Rear Lighthouse
The Berbice Entrance Range Rear light is a square skeletal tower built in 2011, standing 18 meters tall. It is painted white and mounted on a wooden platform supported by wood piles. This range light is situated 1.4 kilometers south-southwest of its front counterpart, marking the approach to the Berbice Entrance in Guyana. The light emits a white flash every five seconds and has a geographic range of 12.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This rear range light provides critical alignment for vessels navigating the Berbice Entrance, replacing an older light with a lower focal plane to enhance maritime safety.
