Sabine Pass Light, Coastal lighthouse in Cameron Parish, United States.
The octagonal brick tower rises from the marshlands with eight buttresses at its base and extends 50 feet upward to a conical dome.
Built in 1857 to guide ships through Sabine Pass, the lighthouse served until 1952 and witnessed several Civil War confrontations between Union and Confederate forces.
The lighthouse stands as a testament to maritime navigation history, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in December 1981.
The Cameron Preservation Alliance maintains the structure and conducts regular fundraising events to support restoration efforts of this maritime landmark.
During the severe hurricane of 1886, the lighthouse keeper and assistant found shelter in the upper section while flood waters surrounded the structure.
