The last light
of its kind
Elbow Reef Lighthouse, The Abacos
Sailors look up to the red stripes that are visible by day, and the white stripes visible at sundown. At night, flares beam from atop the tower every 15 seconds—a white sun visible from 20 miles out.

the Way
The mission of the not-for-profit Elbow Reef Society is simple: restore and preserve the legacy of the Elbow Reef Lighthouse. The people of Hope Town share a deep connection with this place. Every day, they gather, waiting, watching for the light. They use lofty terms like “It’s a part of our soul” and “It’s in our blood” because this candy-stripe lighthouse is their legacy; it’s the story they leave behind.
