The Coast Guard lighthouse located in Morgan City Louisiana on the Atchafalaya River near the Intracoastal waterway.

The lighthouse is no longer used, but remains as a part of the area's history. It was once the lighthouse guarding Southwest Reef, and known as the Point Au Fer lighthouse, several miles to the south of Morgan City.
