Five Islands lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Five Islands, Nova Scotia.
The wooden lighthouse features a pepperpot design, standing as a navigational aid along the Bay of Fundy coastline in Nova Scotia.
Built in 1913 by A. L. Mury under a $750 contract, the lighthouse required three relocations due to coastal erosion over the decades.
The Mi'kmaq people maintain traditional stories about the five nearby islands: Pinnacle, Egg, Long, Diamond, and Moose Islands.
The Five Islands Lighthouse Preservation Society maintains public access during afternoons in July and August, offering guided tours of the structure.
The lighthouse has been moved three separate times to different locations to protect it from shore erosion threatening its foundation.
