Location & Light Range
About Eddy Point Range Rear Lighthouse
This skeletal tower, built in 2003, stands 19 meters tall and carries a trapezoidal slatted daymark painted blue with a red vertical stripe. Its focal height reaches 26.5 meters, emitting a white light with a single flash every 4 seconds. Located about 500 meters south of its predecessor, it functions as the rear light of a range system. This structure replaced the historic Eddy Point lighthouse, continuing its role in maritime guidance. The tower's design is a triangular skeletal frame supporting the daymark.
Why it matters: This light is essential for eastbound vessels leaving the Strait of Canso, providing critical alignment to navigate the channel safely.
