Point Prim Lighthouse

Point Prim Lighthouse is a charming and historic landmark nestled on the scenic shores of Cornwall, PE. This iconic lighthouse was first built in 1845 and stands tall at an impressive height of 60 feet, making it the first and oldest lighthouse on Prince Edward Island. It has played a crucial role in guiding ships safely through the treacherous Northumberland Strait, an important channel for trade and travel in the region.

The lighthouse is open for public tours and visitors can climb to the top to witness stunning views of the surrounding countryside and sparkling waters. During the tour, visitors can also learn about the lighthouse's storied past, including its role in warning ships during World War II and its involvement in the rescue of survivors from the SS Atlantic disaster. The white and red striped exterior of the lighthouse adds to its charm, making it a popular spot for photography and a must-visit for any tourist or history enthusiast.

In addition to its historical significance, Point Prim Lighthouse also offers a peaceful and idyllic setting for visitors to relax and take in the natural beauty of PE. The peaceful sounds of the waves crashing against the shore and the gentle sea breeze make it a perfect spot for a picnic or a leisurely stroll. So make sure to add Point Prim Lighthouse to your itinerary and experience the rich history and serene beauty of this enchanting landmark.
