Point Atkinson Lighthouse
Point Atkinson Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Point Atkinson, West Vancouver, Canada
The concrete lighthouse features a hexagonal tower with reinforced buttresses, reaching a height of 18 meters above the rocky promontory of Point Atkinson.
William P. Anderson designed this maritime structure in 1875, replacing the original wooden lighthouse with the current concrete tower in 1912 to guide ships through Burrard Inlet.
The District of West Vancouver maintains this national historic site within Lighthouse Park, preserving the maritime heritage of British Columbia's Pacific coast.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds through Valley Trail in Lighthouse Park, which provides multiple observation points of the structure and surrounding waters.
The third-order dioptric light manufactured by Chance Brothers continues to operate automatically since 1996, reaching vessels within a 15-nautical-mile radius.
