East Quoddy Lighthouse on Campobello Island

Towering majestically on the eastern tip of Campobello Island stands the "East Quoddy Lighthouse", also more familiar to everyone as the "Head Harbour Lighthouse". An isolated home in years past, to the many lightkeepers and their families, it stands now unmanned. A victim of technology hovering on the brink of a fate that has befallen other monuments of it's own kind. Proudly looking out over the Bay of Fundy, the most photographed lighthouse in the world.

One of the oldest wooden towers in Canada, and a major key to navigating the Bay of Fundy.

Date of building: 1829
Main material: Wood
Nautical characteristics: Fixed red light, range of 13 nautical miles

It is accessable at low tide, via some rusty stairs (4 setss, down, up, down, up) and some very slippery rocks, and a fee of $5.
