Langara Light, Heritage lighthouse in North Coast Regional District, Canada
The Langara Point Lighthouse consists of a hexagonal concrete tower with six buttresses reaching 7.5 meters in height on Langara Island.
Constructed in 1913, the lighthouse marked the Dixon Entrance for vessels traveling to Prince Rupert, the western terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
The lighthouse takes its name from Spanish Admiral Juan de Lángara, following Lieutenant Jacinto Caamano's exploration of the area in 1792.
Three keeper houses remain near the lighthouse grounds, which visitors can reach through scheduled helicopter flights departing from Massett.
The first-order Fresnel lens installed at Langara Light measures over eight feet in height and five feet in width.
