Description
Point Bolivar Light is a historic lighthouse in Port Bolivar, Galveston, Texas, that was built in 1872. It served for 61 years before being retired in 1933, when its function was replaced by a different light.
After withstanding over 150 years of erosion, the lighthouse is now entirely black. This has caused some to call it "The Haunted Lighthouse" of Bolivar.

The lighthouse is adjacent to the Houston Audubon Society's Horseshoe Marsh Bird Sanctuary.
