WayfarrowRound Island Light
Lighthouse · Jackson County, Mississippi
Round Island Light is a lighthouse in Jackson County, Mississippi. Mississippi has 11 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 3 of them in Jackson County.
It was deactivated in 1949; the structure is built of brick.
Status check, 2026-11: The 1859 tower on Round Island fell in Hurricane Georges (1998), and Katrina (2005) wrecked the rebuild. Its remnants were moved to mainland Pascagoula in 2010 and the restored tower opened in 2015, so it is inactive and no longer at its original site. Round Island Light is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 30.3707° N, 88.5559° W.
