Long Beach Light, Harbor lighthouse in Long Beach, California, US.
The concrete rectangular tower with a flat roof stands 42 feet tall and rests on six supporting columns at the entrance of Long Beach Harbor.
Constructed in 1949 for $200,000, this automated lighthouse replaced an earlier skeletal tower and incorporated advanced navigation technology of the post-war period.
This structure represents the transition from traditional lighthouse architecture to modern maritime navigation, marking a shift in coastal infrastructure design.
The lighthouse flashes every 5 seconds and maintains a visibility range of 20 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the busy harbor entrance.
The lower floor contains dual gasoline generators that power both the light system and a radiobeacon, along with air compressors for foghorn operations.
