Beacon
The tags defined on this page will render in various nautical charts. This page defines values for the "seamark:type" tag for beacons and their category attribute tags.
Types
A beacon is a prominent, specially constructed object forming a conspicuous mark as a fixed aid to navigation or for use in hydrographic surveys.
Type S100 Code seamark:type Definition Example Renderings Photo Cardinal Beacon BCNCAR beacon_cardinal A cardinal beacon is used in conjunction with the compass to indicate where the mariner may find the best navigable water. It is placed in one of the four quadrants (North, East, South and West), bounded by inter-cardinal bearings from the point marked. 
Isolated Danger Beacon BCNISD beacon_isolated_danger An isolated danger beacon is a beacon erected on an isolated danger of limited extent, which has navigable water all around it. 
Lateral Beacon BCNLAT beacon_lateral A lateral beacon is used to indicate the port or starboard hand side of the route to be followed. They are generally used for well defined channels and are used in conjunction with a conventional direction of buoyage. 
Safe Water Beacon BCNINB beacon_safe_water A safe water beacon is a prominent specially constructed object forming a conspicuous mark as a fixed aid to navigation or for use in hydrographic surveys. 
Special Purpose Beacon BCNSPP beacon_special_purpose A special purpose beacon is primarily used to indicate an area or feature, the nature of which is apparent from reference to a chart, Sailing Directions or Notices to Mariners (UKHO NP 735, 5th Edition). Beacon in general: A beacon whose appearance or purpose is not adequately known. 
When top-marks, retro reflectors and/or lights are fitted to these marks, they are encoded as separate objects. Note that such top-marks are encoded as separate "topmark" (TOPMAR) objects). Beacons may also have lights and if such lights are fitted they are encoded as separate "light" (LIGHTS) objects.
Categories
Cardinal Beacons
Cardinal beacons are always painted in yellow and black horizontal bands and their distinctive double cone top-marks are always black.

There are no categories of Isolated Danger Beacons. The default colours and topmarks are:

There are two international buoyage regions, A and B, between which lateral marks differ. The buoyage region is encoded using the separate attribute "system" (MARSYS). Lateral beacons and their topmarks are always painted in red, green or red & green horizontal bands.

seamark:topmark:shape Port-hand Beacon port Indicates the port boundary of a navigational channel or suggested route when proceeding in the 'conventional direction of buoyage'.

IALA-A: green, IALA-B: red cone, point up Preferred Channel to Starboard Beacon preferred_channel_starboard At a point where a channel divides, when proceeding in the 'conventional direction of buoyage', the preferred channel (or primary route) is indicated by a modified port-hand lateral mark.

There are no categories of Safe Water Beacons. The default colours and topmarks are:

Special purpose beacons can be any shape and are generally yellow in colour, with a variety of topmarks.

Shapes
Shape (BCNSHP) seamark:<beacon_type>:shape Definition Rendering Stake, Pole, Perch or Post stake
pole
perch
postAn elongated wood or metal pole, embedded in the bottom to serve as a navigational aid or a support for a navigational aid. 
Withy withy A tree without roots stuck or spoiled into the bottom of the sea to serve as a navigational aid. 
Beacon tower tower A solid structure of the order of 10 metres in height used as a navigational aid. 
Pile beacon pile A long heavy timber(s) or section(s) of steel, wood, concrete, etc., forced into the seabed to serve as an aid to navigation or as a support for an aid to navigation. 
Lattice beacon lattice A structure consisting of strips of metal or wood crossed or interlaced to form a structure to serve as an aid to navigation or as a support for an aid to navigation.
Cairn cairn A mound of stones, usually conical or pyramidal, raised specifically for maritime navigation. 
Buoyant beacon buoyant A tall spar-like beacon fitted with a permanently submerged buoyancy chamber, the lower end of the body is secured to seabed sinker either by a flexible joint or by a cable under tension.
Colours
Beacons can be painted in many different colours and colour patterns. See: Colours
