Middle Bay Lighthouse, Alabama, United States
5.0 (8 reviews) Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #29 in Mobile Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lighthouses
Unique site, must visit by boat.
We took a ride with Captain Tommy Rachel of Gulf Boat Tours to be able to visit this unique lighthouse which sits in the middle of Mobile Bay. The sturdy lighthouse has survived the years of weather with the exception of the light housing on top. The hexagon shaped lighthouse sits approximately 25' above the water on a metal frame with a dock at water level. The walls, door, dormer windows & catwalk, as well as the base of the light housing remain. History is that at one time lightkeepers wife had a child & a cow was brought to stay on the lighthouse when they needed milk for that child. Captain Rachel said the lightkeepers family were relatives of his family.

Always great feeling to see the light house in the bay
You have to be in a boat but it’s always makes me happy to see the lighthouse as it means I am fishing in the Bay.

Gotta see this historic light house
If you ever find yourself on a boat in Mobile Bay you gotta see this historic lighthouse in the middle of Mobile Bay (hence the name). Very near the mouth of Dog River. It is southeast of Point Clear. A great fishing spot too!
