Lighthouses and beaches on Vancouver Island

Coastal Landmarks

Vancouver Island's coastline is defined by its historic lighthouses, serving as vital navigation aids along the rugged Pacific edge. This collection includes Fisgard Lighthouse, the first built on Canada's west coast, and the active manned station at Cape Beale. From the accessible trails of Sheringham Point and Amphitrite Point in Ucluelet to the remote northwestern reaches of Cape Scott, these landmarks showcase diverse maritime architecture and the island's long-standing connection to the sea.
