Negril Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid at Negril Point, Westmoreland Parish, Jamaica

The white concrete tower stands 27 meters high and sends automatic white light signals every two seconds to guide ships along the coast.

French company Bubbler & Bernard constructed the lighthouse in 1894 on a 14-foot-deep tank to maintain stability during potential earthquakes.

The lighthouse structure represents the maritime heritage of western Jamaica through its traditional cylindrical design and functional purpose.

Solar panels installed in 1985 replaced the previous acetylene gas system, demonstrating the modernization of this maritime safety infrastructure.

The reinforced concrete structure contains a metal and glass light enclosure with a wind vane at the summit.
