History
The station on Sandbore Caye was established in 1886 building the first lighthouse formed by a skeletal tower 20 metres (66 ft) high replaced in 1931 with a similar one higher. The current light has a skeletal square frustum tower with balcony and a focal height of 25 metres (82 ft); it emits a white flash every 10 seconds.
