The "robot light" of Long Beach
went into service in 1949. The light was built
to mark the San Pedro Middle Breakwater of
Long Beach Harbor. The light was designed from
the start to be unmanned, automated, and controlled
electronically from the
LA Harbor
light.
Directions: The light is on the east end of
the Middle San Pedro
Breakwater, and not accessible. It is visible by boat or
from a distance along the coast. (November 2006)
