West Point Lighthouse

West Point Lighthouse was built in 1875 and is the tallest lighthouse on Prince Edward Island. Its distinctive black-and-white striped tower makes it one of the most recognizable lighthouses on the Island.

Today, the lighthouse is home to a museum and the West Point Lighthouse Inn, where visitors can even stay overnight inside the historic structure during the warmer months.

Behind the lighthouse, the Fairy Trails wind through the nearby woods, offering a quiet place to explore before taking in the sweeping coastal views from the point.
