Head Harbour Light Station, Maritime navigation station on Campobello Island, Canada
The octagonal wooden tower rises 15.5 meters above the rocky outcrop, featuring white shingles and a red cross marking on its exterior.
The New Brunswick government allocated 400 pounds sterling in 1829 to construct this lighthouse, making it the second oldest in the province.
The Friends of Head Harbour Lightstation organization maintains the site since 2002, offering educational tours about maritime navigation and local heritage.
Access to the lighthouse requires careful timing as visitors can only reach the structure during low tide periods through a rocky pathway.
A third-order Fresnel lens installed in 1887 remains in the lantern room, continuing to guide vessels through the Bay of Fundy waters.
