The Sabine Pass Lighthouse, or Sabine Pass Light as it was referred to by the United States Coast Guard, is a historic lighthouse, as part of a gulf coast light station, on the Louisiana side of the Sabine River, in Cameron Parish, across from the community of Sabine Pass, Texas. It was first lit in 1857 and was deactivated by the Coast Guard in 1952. One of only three built in the United States of similar design, the light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Sabine Pass Lighthouse" on December 17, 1981. It is now abandoned but has long continued to be the subject of preservation efforts.Our Cameron visit planning website makes visiting Sabine Pass Lighthouse and other Cameron attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.
The Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society – with interest because the lighthouse was once in Calcasieu Parish – has listed that the lighthouse may be the oldest brick structure still standing in Southwest Louisiana.

I'm from Port Arthur. I've viewed the lighthouse from the Texas side. It can be seen from LA 82, if you strain your eyes. I would love to visit it and go inside. These are pictures I have saved on my computer.
