About Apple River Lighthouse
Also known as: Apple River (Cape Capstan)
A white, cylindrical concrete tower with a red lantern stands 10.5 meters tall, with its light positioned 21.5 meters above sea level. First lit in 1972, this structure replaced an earlier light station established in 1870. The original fog signal building and lantern have since been removed. The lighthouse was refurbished in June 2019, and a new lantern was installed. It emits a single white flash every 12 seconds, visible for 13.5 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the entrance to Apple River from Chignecto Bay, serving as a key navigational reference for local vessels.
