Learn more about hotels in Beacon

Beacons have been guiding travellers for centuries, with ancient examples including fires lit at well-known locations for navigation or signalling in case of approaching enemy troops. Networks of beacons globally have a rich past, with the Great Wall of China utilising a unique daytime smoke and nighttime flame system. Nowadays, technology has enhanced these vital tools with innovations such as radar reflectors, radio beacons, and visual signals coming into play. Unlighted beacons are termed daybeacons, whereas lighted ones are simply called lights. Beacons are now essential not only for everyday navigation but also used extensively in modern warfare, vehicular communication, and even underwater applications with sonar beacons.
