Plan Your VisitPEI Lighthouses

Cape Tryon Lighthouse was originally built in 1905 and guided mariners along the northern coast of PEI, providing warning of the shallow waters that reached far beyond the shore. The building that currently stands was built in 1965. It is still active today and has always used an electric light.

Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables writes about a beautiful lighthouse being built along a red sandstone cliff in her novel Anne’s House of Dreams. This is one of PEI’s hidden treasures, so keep searching we promise its worth it!

This lighthouse is on private property, but can be viewed from a public road.
