About Rondeau West Breakwater Range Rear Lighthouse
First lit in 1947, this square pyramidal steel tower stands 16 meters tall and is painted white. It serves as the rear range light for the Rondeau entrance channel, positioned across from the east pier light. The structure, reaching a focal height of 18 meters, emits a green flashing light. Its geographic range extends to 12.7 nautical miles. The tower itself does not feature a lantern. The site is open to visitors, though the tower is closed.
Why it matters: This light functions as the rear component of a range system, working with a front light to establish a precise alignment for vessels navigating the Rondeau entrance channel. This alignment is critical for safe passage into the harbor.
