Belle Isle Northeast Light, Federal heritage lighthouse on Belle Isle, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The white cylindrical iron tower with red lantern rises 27 meters above the northeastern edge of Belle Isle, featuring six flying buttresses and a dodecagonal shape.

Built in 1905 by the Canadian government, this lighthouse was part of a series of nine buttressed structures designed by William P. Anderson to guide steamships through the strait.

The lighthouse represents maritime architectural innovation in Canada, earning federal heritage status in 1989 for its structural design and historical significance to navigation.

The solar-powered lighthouse emits white flashes every eleven seconds and includes a fog signal that produces horn blasts every thirty seconds when visibility decreases.

Despite being constructed before Newfoundland joined Canadian Confederation in 1949, the Canadian government maintained this lighthouse to ensure safe passage through Belle Isle Strait.
