Welcome to the seacoast. Breathe the salty, fresh air. Feel the wind off the Bay. Enjoy a spectacular view that changes with the tide.
Five Islands Lighthouse is the star attraction of Five Islands Lighthouse Park. The historic lighthouse stands like a beacon, welcoming to the park visitors from near and far. This wooden, “pepper pot” lighthouse was built in 1913 at nearby Sand Point. In 2008 it had to be relocated and now sits perfectly in its new home overlooking the islands.
The lighthouse is closed to the public until further notice, however, visitors can enjoy the surrounding 8.8 ha (22 acre) coastal park with a panoramic view of the Minas Basin, ship playground, walking paths and benches, beach access, large picnic shelter and accessible washrooms.
The spectacular view includes all Five Islands as well as the Old Wife (part of Five Islands Provincial Park), the Brothers (also known as Two Islands), Cape Blomidon and Cape Split. This is notably among the best scenery in the Bay of Fundy.
Electric vehicle charging available onsite (1 x Universal SAE J1772 connector, level 2).
The lighthouse is owned by the Municipality of Colchester and is a Municipal Heritage Property.
Five Islands Lighthouse Park is part of the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark.
