200 Aquarium Way
Long Beach, CA 90802

The Long Beach Harbor Lighthouse stands as a testament to the bustling maritime activity of the region, adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles. Its concrete structure, built in 1949, symbolizes resilience against seismic forces, embodying modernity and innovation in aids to navigation.

The lighthouse's design, with a rotating airway beacon controlled by an astronomical clock, showcases a blend of functionality and safety measures to prevent any mishaps. Originally equipped with generators and Tyfon foghorns, it served as a crucial guide for vessels navigating the busy harbor, ensuring safe passage in all conditions.

Despite its unique appearance, the Long Beach Harbor Lighthouse remains a significant landmark, complemented by faux lighthouses in the area like Parkers' Lighthouse Restaurant. As a focal point in the harbor, it not only illuminates the way for maritime traffic but also adds character to the coastal landscape of Long Beach, California.
