Beaver Island Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Beaver Island Lighthouse
A cylindrical, red fiberglass tower stands 11.5 meters tall, with its light positioned 20 meters above sea level. It was first lit in 1985, replacing an earlier structure. The original lighthouse and keeper's houses were demolished in that same year. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 7 seconds, visible for 13.2 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The modern fiberglass construction represents an evolution in lighthouse design, offering durability and reduced maintenance. This offshore waypoint is essential for vessels navigating between Sheet Harbour and Port Dufferin.
