Cape Sarichef Light

Cape Sarichef Light is a lighthouse in Aleutians East County, Alaska. Alaska has 20 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 5 of them in Aleutians East County.

Its light sits 171 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl W 2.5s (a white flash every 2.5 seconds), with a range of about 8 nautical miles; it was deactivated in 1950; the structure is built of structural wood.

Status check, 2026-11: The 1904 lighthouse was rebuilt in 1950, and the old tower and buildings were demolished in 1999. Only an automated light on a steel skeletal tower remains. Lighthousefriends dates that tower to 1979, but USCG and USBeacons give 1950 as the year the current tower was first lit. It stands at 54.5982° N, 164.9280° W.
