About Kincardine Lighthouse
Also known as: Kincardine (Range Rear)
Built in 1881, this octagonal stone tower stands 19 meters tall, with its light situated 24 meters above water. The structure integrates the tower directly with a two-story keeper's house, featuring white walls and red trim. Its light emits a single red flash every 5 seconds, visible for 14.1 nautical miles. Kincardine Lighthouse is operational and open to the public. The nearest port is Port Elgin, located about 19 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's unique design, with the octagonal tower rising from the keeper's house, makes it a notable example of historical architecture. Its continued operation guides vessels into Kincardine's harbor and along the adjacent coastline.
