Lighthouse Pub, Waterfront pub in Sechelt, Canada

Lighthouse Pub is a waterfront dining establishment in Sechelt featuring multiple levels with indoor seating areas. An outdoor patio spans the property and overlooks the waters of Porpoise Bay below.

The building was the China Gate Restaurant at Expo 86, bought at auction by Sechelt developer Len Van Egmond. Pilings went in at the former Tyee float plane base in June 1987, and the structure was trucked piece by piece via the Langdale ferry and Highway 101. It reopened in June 1988; a restaurant opened under the lighthouse motif in December 1994, and major renovations followed in 2006–2007.

The building began as the China Gate Restaurant at Expo 86, and its lighthouse motif was adapted from the spaceship of a space-themed McDonald's pavilion. The complex was mistakenly called the Munich Festhaus in Bill Cotter's book on the fair. Today it serves pub fare and local seafood with weekend live entertainment.

The complex sits at the southern tip of Sechelt Inlet, half on land and half over the water, and holds the pub, Buccaneers Restaurant, Lighthouse Marine and the Harbour Air Sechelt float plane base. Scheduled float plane flights leave for Vancouver, Richmond and Nanaimo, so boat and plane traffic share the site. The pub has big screen TVs and weekend live entertainment.

The lighthouse-shaped structure on the roof began as a spaceship prop from the space-themed McDonald's pavilion at Expo 86; developer Len Van Egmond saw it and had it modified into a lighthouse. The building itself was the China Gate Restaurant at the fair, trucked piece by piece to Sechelt in 1987.
