Baron Bliss Light, Maritime beacon in Fort George, Belize City, Belize.

The Baron Bliss lighthouse is a white concrete tower with red stripes that rises on the Fort George peninsula overlooking the harbor. The tower features an observation platform that offers views out toward the sea and across the city below.

The lighthouse was established in 1885 on the site of a Spanish fortress damaged in the 1798 Battle of St. George's Caye. Baron Bliss died on 9 March 1926, asking to be buried in a granite tomb near the sea with a lighthouse built nearby. The present tower was erected to fulfil that wish.

The lighthouse image appears on Belikin's "Lighthouse Lager" and on billboards, coasters, cups and mugs sold around Belize. Baron Bliss, a British sailor and fisherman who travelled on his yacht "Sea King", never set foot on Belizean shores, yet his 1926 bequest of about two million dollars to the then colony of British Honduras made him one of the country's greatest benefactors.

The lighthouse stands on the Fort George peninsula, a short walk from the Baron Bliss tomb, which lies in a granite tomb enclosed by an iron fence near the sea. The tower itself is not open for climbing; the observation platform and interior are not accessible to visitors. View it from the surrounding seafront.
