Description

Sunrise at Port Isabel Lighthouse - Port isabel lighthouse was built in 1852 for the sea captains to help them navigate the Texas coastal waters. While this lighthouse is no longer needed as technology improve navigation it sit as a reminder of the past and a landmark for the city. Now the lighhouse acts as a museum with its reconstructed lighthouse keeper’s cottage which sit below. The Port Isabel’s 72-foot lighthouse is open to the public where you can climb the winding stairs case and enter the outside area where you can take in the 370 views of the area. From this site you can see the Port Isabel and beyond along with South Padre Island with the Queen Isabela Causeway in view and the coastal beach. Port Isabel is located in south texas or as the locals call it the valley which stands for the Texas Rio Grande Valley. We loved this capture of the Port Isabel lighthouse right before the sun came up with these wonderful pastel color in the sky showing the Queen Isabela Causeway along with the down town historic district. This is a historic site and across the street they have a wonderful museum where you can get tickets to go into the lighthouse which is the last light house that is still open to the public. Check out our gallery of Port Isabel and South Padre Island.
