Prince Edward Island Lighthouses

Prince Edward Island features a dense collection of historic maritime beacons, with over 60 lighthouses dotting its coastline. This list highlights significant structures like Point Prim, the island's oldest and only round brick lighthouse, and the distinctive black-and-white striped West Point Lighthouse. Many of these sites, including Covehead in the National Park and various range lights like those at Victoria and Brighton Beach, date back to the late 19th century. These landmarks demonstrate the evolution of wooden and masonry maritime architecture used to guide ships through the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
