Jeddore Rock Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Jeddore Rock Lighthouse
A square skeletal steel tower stands 15 meters tall on Jeddore Rock, an islet situated about 6 km southeast of French Point, Nova Scotia. First lit in 1881, the current 2012 structure replaced a 1971 lighthouse that was moved to the site in 1977. The tower's focal height reaches 29 meters, emitting a white light with a long flash every 12 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 15.1 nautical miles. The station is operational and maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard, though public access is not permitted due to the remote location.
Why it matters: This light is important for guiding vessels in the waters around Jeddore Rock and marking the entrance to Jeddore Harbour, helping mariners navigate the surrounding rocky hazards.
