Scarlett Point Lighthouse, Navigational lighthouse in Regional District of Mount Waddington, Canada

The steel conical tower with an octagonal lantern rises 11 meters above the northeastern edge of Balaklava Island near Port Hardy.

The Department of Marine constructed the original wooden lighthouse in 1905, which included living quarters underneath the light structure.

Indigenous lightkeeper William Hunt and his family maintained the station while providing assistance to shipwrecked sailors during maritime emergencies.

The lighthouse emits white light signals every five seconds and remains operational year-round to guide vessels through the coastal waters.

Former lightkeeper Ivan Dubinsky won a million-dollar lottery prize after spending thirteen years at this remote station from 2007 to 2020.
