Sentinel Island Lighthouse




Sentinel Island Lighthouse is located on Sentinel Island in Favorite Channel, Alaska. 25 miles northwest of Juneau. This is one of the lighthouses we passed while whale watching out of Auke Bay. The Sentinel Island Light was one of the first two lighthouses built in the inside passage in 1901. Originally wood, it was replaced in 1935 with this structure. In 2004 it became the first lighthouse in Alaska to be transferred under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000.
