Cape Egmont Lighthouse

Andy | Thursday, September 10, 2015 | | Best Blogger Tips

Located on Prince Edward Island, Cape Egmont Lighthouse was completed and put in operation in September of 1884. It originally had an attached dwelling, which was removed in 1958. Due to severe shoreline erosion, the lighthouse was moved back from the surrounding bluffs in April, 2000.

Just off the shoreline one will get a bonus of Mother Natures's art work. Stand close to the cliff edge and you will see this sea stack. The wind and water have taken their toll on the sandstone cliffs.
Location: 161 Phare Du Cap Egmont Road, Wellington, PE C0B 2E0, Canada

    Your lighthouses look very pretty but different from ours. I like the wooden construction. The coastline is changing in an artwork indeed, amazing that hole.

    That lighthouse is very picturesque and I love the ocean view with the sandstone. Prince Edward Island is a beautiful place.

    Neat view off the edge! I'm glad they rescued the lighthouse- it looks like it has seen some fantastic windstorms.

    I love both photos. The lighthouse is not like any I've seen before.

    I always thought it would be fun to live in a lighthouse. Neat shore shot.

    The PEI coastline is so beautiful, Andy! And the lighthouses are wonderful. Friends live on Point Prim Rd just up from the lighthouse there and it is so great to go and see it.

    I like the design on the lighthouse, and Mother Nature also did a good job here.

    Love that old wood lighthouse! Unusual construction? I'm used to round and masonry.

    A wonderful old lighthouse (too bad they took out the keeper's residence) and a beautiful setting.

    PEI was one of my favourite places in Canada. Glad to see it again, especially those red cliffs.

    Wind and water are two very strong erosion forces. A small lighthouse, and I wish that I could have seen the old residence too.
