Range Lights

Range lights are usually visible in one direction and
help a boat operator navigate in a generally safe
direction. Steering a course to keep range lights
arranged in a line (one on top of the other) will help
guide a boat through a channel.

Lighthouses

Lighthouses can be found at harbor entrances,
prominent headlands, isolated danger areas and
along the coast. These striped or patterned
structures have unique flashing characteristics to
help identify them.
