About Prospect Point Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1948, stands 8 meters tall with a focal height of 11.5 meters. Its exterior is white with a single red horizontal band. The structure features a strongly tapered square tower on a one-story square workroom. Its light displays an isophase red signal on a 2-second cycle, visible for nearly 11 nautical miles. The station has been active since 1898, with keepers historically regulating traffic through the First Narrows. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels through the First Narrows, a critical passage for Vancouver Harbour.
