14 Jun Lighthouse Hunting in Central PEI

Did you know that there are 61 lighthouses and range lights on Prince Edward Island? Some lighthouses are still operational and eight of them are open as community museums! Most lighthouses are locked up and are no longer operational, but they are still amazing to see and they make for some beautiful photo backdrops! Take a look at some of our favourite lighthouses in Central PEI here!

Blockhouse Harbour Lighthouse

This lighthouse is located on Rocky Point, overlooking the entrance to the Charlottetown Harbour. This is a popular spot for those who don’t like the crowds to come to on Canada Day and watch the fireworks.
