A lighthouse here was first proposed in 1883 by hydrographer M. A. Klykov as preferable to rebuilding the Petropavlovsky light, but authorities chose to prioritize Petropavlovsk instead, and the idea was revived only in the 1930s. Wartime urgency finally brought a temporary wooden lighthouse with acetylene lighting in 1943, part of the effort to secure the Lend-Lease shipping route. It was rebuilt in 1958 as a 12-meter stone tower with red and white horizontal stripes; the light, mounted 249 meters above sea level, now shows a white flashing light visible to 22 miles, with a backup light and radio beacon.

Из книги «Маяки России» (2001)
Источник: Комарицын А. А., Корякин В. И., Романов В. Г. «Маяки России (исторические очерки)». СПб.: ГУНиО МО РФ, 2001 (доп. тираж 2005).
Мыс Шипунский, название которого носит маяк, был открыт русскими казаками-землепроходцами в конце XVII — начале XVIII веков. Описан и нанесен на карту под существующим и ныне названием в первой половине XVIII века участниками Первой и Второй Камчатских экспедиций под командованием В. Й. Беринга и А. И. Чирикова. Обрывистый мыс, выступая в море на юго-восток севернее Авачинской губы, является входным мысом Кроноцкого залива. Первым, кто предлагал построить маяк на мысе Шипунский, был начальник Гидрографической части портов Восточного океана штабс-капитан Корпуса флотских штурманов М. А. Клыков. В 1883 году, когда поднимался вопрос о перестройке старого Петропавловского маяка, Клыков доложил командиру портов Восточного океана, что считает более нужным построить маяк на мысе Шипунский, чем восстанавливать маяк в Петропавловске. “Сейчас то место бедно населенное и решительно не производительное поселение. Петропавловск не играет особой роли теперь. Одни проблемы со снаб Мыс Шипунский жением жителей. Китобойный промысел уменьшился. Заходит не более десяти судов в год, они чаще идут мимо на Командорские острова, к устью Анадыря, в Берингов пролив... Другое дело, если бы маяк стоял на мысе Шипунском...” [45). Здание маяка Клыков предложил сложить во Владивостоке “на месте ломки” строительного материала, занумеровав каждый камень, затем перевезти на судне на Камчатку. Однако и командир портов Восточного океана контр-адмирал А. Ф. Фельдгаузен, и Гидрографический департамент сочли более необходимым все же перестроить
Петропавловский маяк, а строительство маяка на мысе Шипунский отложить. Ими руководило стремление развивать Петропавловский порт, сделать его центром мореплавания и торговли на северо-востоке России. В 1930-х годах, когда осуществлялось интенсивное освоение восточного побережья Камчатки и Северного морского пути, Гидрографический отдел Тихоокеанского флота включил строительство маяка Шипунский в свой перспективный план на 1938—1940 годы. Это был канун Великой Отечественной войны, и план не был реализован. Маяк возвели лишь в 1943 году, когда Гидрографическая служба Тихоокеанского флота выполняла по постановлению Государственного Комитета Обороны комплекс работ по обеспечению круглогодичного плавания при любых гидрометеорологических условиях транспортов с военными и хозяйственными грузами, идущих из США во Владивосток и Николаевск-на-Амуре (см. очерк “Кроноцкий”). Ввиду военного времени и срочной необходимости, маяк возвели как временное сооружение — в виде деревянной башни с ацетиленовым фонарем. В таком виде маяк простоял до 1958 года, когда его капитально перестроили. В настоящее время Маяк Шипунский это каменная четырехграннаябашня высотой 12 м, окрашенная красными и белыми горизонтальными полосами. Светооптический электрический аппарат, установленный в стальном остекленном фонарном сооружении на высоте 249 м от уровня моря, светит белым проблесковым огнем, дальность видимости которого достигает 22 миль. На маяке имеется резервный огонь и радиомаяк.
