About Digby Gut Fog Signal Lighthouse
A 7-meter steel skeletal tower, painted green with a white horizontal band, stands on the east side of the entrance to Digby Gut. Built in 2014, it replaced an earlier structure and is located opposite Prim Point, near Victoria Beach, Nova Scotia. The tower's focal height reaches 20 meters, and it emits a single green flash every 6 seconds, visible for 13.2 nautical miles. This post-mounted light is part of a 1-story rectangular fog signal building. Originally, a fog signal was established in 1915, with a navigational light added in 1963. The original building was demolished in 2014 and replaced by the current tower.
Why it matters: This light is essential for navigating the Digby Gut, a narrow strait with strong tidal currents and frequent fog, serving as the primary maritime entrance to the Annapolis Basin.
