Newcastle Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Newcastle Lighthouse
The original Newcastle Lighthouse was first lit in 1846 to mark the harbor entrance on Lake Ontario, east of Toronto. This structure no longer stands. Following its decommissioning in 1914, the lighthouse was removed and replaced by a smaller beacon at the harbor entrance. The original structure served as a navigational aid for nearly seven decades. The nearest port, Bowmanville, is 4.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The Newcastle Lighthouse ensured safe passage into the harbor, supporting local commerce and regional shipping on Lake Ontario. Its operation from 1846 to 1914 directly aided the area's maritime economy.
