Standing at the tip of Semiahmoo Spit in Blaine, Washington, this modest lighthouse has guided mariners since 1905. Built to mark the entrance to Semiahmoo Harbor near the Canadian border, it served the region’s once-thriving salmon canning industry. Now decommissioned, the light is no longer active and is not open to the public for climbing or interior access.

What makes it notable is its picturesque setting on the narrow sand spit extending into Drayton Harbor, with views toward the San Juan Islands. Golden hour and sunset provide the best photography conditions. Nearby, visitors can explore Semiahmoo Resort, Peace Arch State Park, and the Semiahmoo County Park trails along the spit.
