Lighthouse
-
Covehead Harbour Lighthouse- York, PE
While the current Covehead Harbour lighthouse only dates to 1975, it is still incredibly charming. A mere 26 feet tall (the smallest on Prince Edward Island), its square tapered tower has unique wooden brackets, cheery red deck and a 100 year old Fresnel Lens from Dalhousie, New Brunswick.
-
St. Peters Harbour Lighthouse- St. Peters, PE
Built in 1878, this diminutive little lighthouse has recently been restored. A small, tapered wooden tower with hexagonal lantern, this light has been moved several times, along with the shoreline.
-
Curtis Island Lighthouse- Camden, ME
Looking like a idealized New England watercolor, the Curtis Island Lighthouse sits at the head of Camden's harbor. First established in 1835, the current brick tower dates to 1896.
-
Portland Head Light- Cape Elizabeth, ME
Located just up the coast from Cape Elizabeth Light is the oldest lighthouse in Maine, Portland Head. So old, it was built at the request of George Washington, while Maine was still a part of Massachusetts.
-
Cape Elizabeth Light- Cape Elizabeth, ME
Located on a windswept rocky promontory, the Gothic Revival Cape Elizabeth Light has been protecting Cosco Bay since 1874. Its desolate beauty has been inspiring people for almost as long.
