About Deal Pier Lighthouse
A cylindrical stone tower, painted white, stands 15 meters tall with a focal height of 7 meters. It was built in 2008 as part of a restaurant structure at the end of Deal Pier, which extends 311 meters into the English Channel. The light emits a fixed red signal. A station was first established at this location in 1865. The current pier structure dates to 1957, with the light moved to an earlier restaurant building in 2005 before the present construction in 2008. The lighthouse offers a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This light marks the extremity of Deal Pier, a significant structure extending into the English Channel, and aids navigation in the busy waterway.
