Toppled by Hurricane Georges in 1998 on Round Island, the brick tower was rebuilt on the Pascagoula shore with its original lantern gallery. A small museum beside it opened in 2025. It no longer serves as a light for ships.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Pascagoula, by the Round Island Lighthouse, 136 m (445 ft) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. Mississippi's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when Mississippi arrives.
