Alderney Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Quénard Point, Alderney, Guernsey.

The stone lighthouse rises 32 meters above ground, featuring a white tower with a single broad black horizontal band for daytime visibility.

The lighthouse construction in 1912 followed the grounding of SS Liverpool in Cats Bay, marking the need for improved maritime navigation.

The structure represents maritime navigation evolution, from manual operation with resident keepers until 1997 to modern remote control systems.

The lighthouse emits four LED lanterns in alternating pairs, providing navigation signals visible at a range of 12 nautical miles.

Trinity House Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex, controls this lighthouse, which stands near the Alderney Race's strong tidal streams.
