The Sabine Pass Lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, the first property in Cameron Parish to make the list. The octagonal brick structure with a flared octagonal base is believed unique on the Mississippi-Louisiana-Texas coasts.
The lighthouse, built in 1857 for $22,258, served as a navigational aid in trade and aided the westward migration in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana.
