About Berry Head Lighthouse
Also known as: Berry Head (Tor Bay)
The current Berry Head Lighthouse, a 5.5-meter square wooden tower painted white, was constructed in 1985. It stands 12.5 meters above sea level and emits a white flash. This structure replaced an earlier lighthouse from 1951, which in turn succeeded the original station built in 1876. The lighthouse is situated on a headland at the western entrance to Tor Bay, Nova Scotia. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the headland at the western entrance to Tor Bay, aiding safe passage into the bay.
