Harbour Lights Port Isabel TX

The beginning of Port Isabel Light was anything but ordinary. Congress appropriated $15,000 for a lighthouse and beacon light at Brazos, Santiago after Fort Polk was abandoned. The tower was completed in 1852 and was lit by four lamps, 57 feet above the ground. In 1857 a Third Order Fresnel Lens was installed with a fixed, flashing light.

Although it had less than 20 years as an active lighthouse in its 150-year life, Port Isabel Light nonetheless established its place in maritime history. It is designated as a National Historic Landmark, and its scenic location on Lower Laguna Madre off South Padre Island makes the sentinel a major tourist attraction in the area. The tower is popular with photographers and romantics, as well. More than a few couples have climbed the 75 winding stairs and three short ladders to exchange wedding vows atop the tower!
