Hillsboro Inlet Light
Hillsboro Inlet Light, Maritime lighthouse in Hillsboro Beach, United States.
The Hillsboro Inlet Light stands 42 meters tall with an octagonal skeletal iron tower structure painted in black and white diagonal stripes.
Congress authorized the construction of this navigation aid in 1901, and the lighthouse began its operations in 1907 with a kerosene-powered lamp system.
The Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society maintains the historical records and conducts educational programs about maritime navigation and coastal development in Florida.
The lighthouse beam reaches 28 nautical miles across the ocean, marking the northern limit of the Florida Reef for maritime vessels.
The lighthouse contains a second-order bivalve Fresnel lens from Paris, which generated reports of fires in the Everglades due to its concentrated sunlight reflection.
