With amazing views this lighthouse gives access to the guard room. It also has preserved beam glasses used in the past. The gift shop has amazing collection of local crafts and lady at gift shop is very sweet - she shared anecdotes from past and how climate change may impact light house. Don’t forget to use stamp at the entry of light house. It’s fun
Such a wonderful little spot where we spent our last day in PEI. The kids loved climbing upto the top of the lighthouse and visiting the gift shop which was run by two very lovely ladies! The grounds were clean and the view was serene. I would recommend this little lighthouse. Take a picnic and eat right by it.
Picturesque tall lighthouse on the beautiful south coast of Price Edward Island. They had a super cute gift shop with souvenires, and wears. My sister and I each bought these beautiful hand painted pottery dishes for grating garlic. You can even pay as small fee ($5) to go up inside the lighthouse all the way to the top. The money goes to maintaining the lighthouse so we happily paid. The inside is set up like a museum and a greater who tells you the history of the lighthouse and it's keeper. You can even crank the fog horn with is fun! There are several levels to climb and it's cool to see how the keeper lived in the small spaces The view from the top is incredible. Sweeping views of the sea backed by lush evergreens.
Beautiful view. Not very good for a leisurely walk along the beach as very rocky and slippery, but if willing to trek it it is worth it! When arriving, paved road ends a km or so before the lighthouse, Chowder House (was too late to try, but has one of the best views in PEI), and public waterfront access....keep going down the dirt road, you'll get there :)
Awesome lighthouse to visit and you can go right to the top. We came on a cooler, less busy day and there were still lots of people. There is a small fee to go to the top but the visit is free. Not many made the trek up to the top at the time we were there. The stair are steep so not for the faint of heart. It’s a great spot for photography, picnics and even has a nice souvenir shop as well. There is a cafe just down the driveway as well, if you want something to eat. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are people will will tell you about the history of their lighthouse and they are very proud of it.
