Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse — Attraction in Port Lavaca

Name
Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse
Description
The Halfmoon Reef Light is one of the many screw-pile type lighthouses built on the Texas Gulf Coast, but the only one that still stands. To distinguish it from the nearby Matagorda Island Light it was given a red glass chimney to be used with the oil lantern to give it its red beam.

I was really looking forward to coming here and seeing another lighthouse other then the one I work at back in penacola we looked up where to go and it said go to the center to gain entrance but when we got there their was no one in the center I got some pictures but I would have liked to talk to someone and get more information it was a little bit of a let down.

This lighthouse is a defunct device. It was moved to its current location, before the Bauer Event Center at Port Lavaca, Texas, and is closed to the public. It's in very good shape and unobstructed photos taken of it. It's a five minute visit. The Chamber of Commerce is right next to it, so you can grab a handful of brochures to see what's available in town.

Nice little lighthouse. Upstairs acces was locked, that would have been an ideal picture from up there. Be on the lookout for the bells. They're close to the steps into the lighthouse.

I'm so glad this little lighthouse was salvaged and brought ashore for us to enjoy! I timed my visit well - the friendly groundskeeper at the Bauer Community Center next door let me inside the lighthouse and gave me a little tour (it's not a big structure). If you are feeling adventurous, he'll take you up the ladder to the lantern room (no lens in there anymore). If you arrive during regular hours and find the place locked, pop in to the Chamber office in the big building and they'll have it opened for you. They also have the stamp for the USLHS Passport, if you...

Visited on a weekday during holiday. Place was peaceful and serene. Lighthouse was closed during the visit and inferred that its opened during the community center hours.(call before arriving here) You can take photos on the exterior of the lighthouse. There's an ample parking space for Car and RVs with accessibility parking options. Would like to visit again. Have a good time...
