Cattle Point Light, Concrete lighthouse in San Juan County, US.

The octagonal concrete tower stands 34 feet tall at the southeastern tip of San Juan Island, overlooking the junction of Haro Straits and San Juan Channel.

The first navigational aid at this location was established in 1888, consisting of a lens lantern maintained by George Jakle, a former American Camp soldier.

The lighthouse marks the southern boundary of San Juan Islands National Monument, representing maritime navigation heritage in the Pacific Northwest region.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse through an interpretive trail from Cattle Point Natural Resources Conservation Area, with parking available near the former powerhouse.

The U.S. Navy installed a radio compass station at this site in 1921, enabling ships to determine their position in the Strait of Juan de Fuca during poor weather.

Location: San Juan County
