About Schafner Point Lighthouse
Also known as: Schafner Point (Port Royal)
Constructed in 1885, the Schafner Point Lighthouse is a 11-meter square pyramidal wooden tower. It features a white exterior with red trim, and a red lantern room. The light, visible for 11.3 nautical miles, emits a continuous white flash. The lighthouse is situated off Granville Road, southwest of Annapolis Royal, near the Port Royal National Historic Site. Ownership transferred to the Annapolis Heritage Society in 2015, followed by the Port Royal Lighthouse Association in October 2022. Restoration efforts were completed in 2023.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the approach to Port Royal, a historically significant area. Its recent community-led restoration highlights the local dedication to preserving maritime heritage in the Annapolis Basin.
