Another day, more lighthouses. (See here and here.)
I’m running out of anecdotes energy. If I don’t have anything to say about a particular stop, I’ll just post pictures!
Hampton Lighthouse
Horton Bluff Light
Jerome Point Lighthouse
We ate a picnic here at the start of our Cape Breton adventures.
Margaree Harbour Range Front Lighthouse
Medway Head Lighthouse
Neils Harbour Lighthouse (or, The Lighthouse Ice Cream Parlour)
A lighthouse repurposed as an ice cream parlour that was, sadly, in the off season when we visited.
Northern Light & Alarm (or, Grand Passage Lighthouse)
Pictou Bar Lighthouse
I think this was a visitor centre? I know it wasn’t a functional lighthouse, but that didn’t stop us from taking a picture!
Point Prim Lighthouse
Port George Lighthouse
Port Medway Lighthouse
Sambro Island
Sambro Lighthouse is the oldest standing/operating lighthouse in the Americas! We’ve only seen it from afar, but we’re keen to get a closer look.
Sandy Point
Victoria Beach Lighthouse
Wallace Harbour Sector (Front Range) Lighthouse
Walton Harbour Lighthouse
Western Head Lighthouse
We’ve visited Western Head many times; the kids really enjoy climbing on the rocks and, on windy days, the waves are incredible!
Schafner Point Lighthouse
Growing up, I could look out my bedroom window and see this lighthouse at the bottom of my driveway! The last time we visited it was under renovation.
Bonus:
How could I forget some of our LEGO lighthouses?
And this house that was designed to look like a lighthouse.
Phew. That’s a wrap!
Your turn.
- Imagine you’re coming to me in Nova Scotia and we can visit two of the lighthouses from this post; which ones would you choose?

Medway Head and Sambro Island intrigue me the most. Such a variety of lighthouses- you definitely have a lot to showcase in NS!
PS- I hope I could see the Lego lighthouses if I came for a visit, regardless of where rose I visit. They’re really cute!

The Lego lighthouse! That’s so cute.
What a GREAT photo of Belle, I can see why it’s your favourite!
I never thought before how there are lighthouses on every beach but of course – that makes sense! People needed to see where they were going!

Ooh, I like Sambro Island! The lighthouse looks far away and mysterious. And, Horton Bluff- there’s something melancholy and nostalgic about it. All your photos are beautiful!
