Description: The Covehead Harbour Lighthouse is a charming and historic landmark located in Covehead Harbour, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Situated along the island's picturesque north shore, the lighthouse serves as a navigational aid and an iconic symbol of the region's maritime heritage. The Covehead Harbour Lighthouse was built in 1967, commemorating Canada's centennial. It replaced an earlier lighthouse that was no longer in operation. The lighthouse stands at a height of approximately 12 meters (39 feet) and features a distinctive red and white striped exterior, typical of many traditional lighthouses. This lighthouse is not only visually appealing but also serves as an important beacon for mariners navigating the waters of Covehead Bay. Its light, usually emitting a white or green signal, helps guide vessels safely through the harbor entrance and along the coastline. Visitors to the Covehead Harbour Lighthouse can appreciate its scenic surroundings, including stunning views of the bay, rolling hills, and picturesque fishing boats. The area also offers opportunities for coastal walks, birdwatching, and enjoying the natural beauty of Prince Edward Island's north shore.
