Providence Bay Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Providence Bay Lighthouse
A square pyramidal skeletal steel tower, standing 12 meters tall, displays red and white horizontal bands. The light is white, flashing once every 10 seconds. Built in 1973, it replaced an original octagonal wooden structure that was destroyed by fire. The light's focal plane is 14.5 meters above the water, providing a geographic range of 11.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower is closed.
Why it matters: The Providence Bay Lighthouse is essential for vessels entering the bay from the south coast of Manitoulin Island, marking the eastern entrance at Providence Point.
