Amphitrite Point Lighthouse

Amphitrite Point Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Ucluelet, Canada

Amphitrite Point Lighthouse is a concrete structure on the coast near Ucluelet with a white tower and red lantern top. The compact facility sits on a rocky headland and provides views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding cliffs.

A wooden tower was built in 1906 but storms destroyed it completely in 1914. The current concrete tower was constructed in 1915 as a replacement and has stood at this exposed location ever since.

The name comes from Amphitrite, the sea goddess and wife of Poseidon in Greek mythology. The site also appears as one of the sample pictures in Windows 7, a detail that brought the lighthouse to screens worldwide.

The tower is closed to the public, but the grounds are open as part of the Lighthouse Loop of the Wild Pacific Trail. Visitors can also park at the end of Coast Guard Road and walk directly to the lighthouse in 2–3 minutes. The site receives about 3.3 metres of rain annually and is exposed to frequent winter gales.

Since 1934 the facility has been collecting water temperature and salinity data for a scientific monitoring program. This long-running dataset makes the lighthouse a valuable point for understanding the Pacific coast.
