Port Isabel Lighthouse featured on Passport to Texas Podcast from Texas Parks and Wildlife.
For most of its 155 year history, the Port Isabel Lighthouse like a lonely sentry, kept silent watch over ships that ventured into the shallow gulf waters of the lower Laguna Madre. One of sixteen lighthouses serving the state, this renovated structure is evocative of a bygone era; one that continues to capture the imagination of visitors.
The Port Isabel Lighthouse was constructed in 1852, near sites of Civil War Battle of Palmito Ranch (1865) and Mexican War Battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. The Port Isabel Lighthouse State Historic Site in Port Isabel, Cameron County was opened to the public in 1952. Get the podcast
