by Gabriel Ducros
Located on the southwestern tip of Prince Edward Island, West Point Lighthouse is a square tapered wooden tower. As the first lighthouse built by the federal government on the Island, the lighthouse is associated with the transfer of responsibility for aids to navigation from the colonial government to the new Federal Department of Marine. A design change from octagonal to square towers coincided with the changeover. The West Point Lighthouse is a comfortable Inn, located in beautiful Prince Edward Island. Stay over night at the lighthouse and tuck yourself into one of our nine cozy guest rooms. All nine rooms have private baths; two have whirlpool baths. These rooms have been thoughtfully furnished to recreate the era of the light keepers.
