Cape Tryon Light, Heritage lighthouse in Queens County, Canada

Cape Tryon Light is a heritage lighthouse in Queens County with a white square pyramidal tower and red trim. It sits on red sandstone cliffs and includes a lantern room at the top.

The first Cape Tryon lighthouse entered service in 1905 on a cliff 2.4 km north-east of New London harbour, a white rectangular wooden dwelling topped by a red octagonal metal lantern. It held a fourth-order Fresnel lens made in Paris by Barbier, Bénard et Turenne. The station was replaced in 1969 by the current automated light; the old building was sold, moved and restored as a private home.

The original 1905 wooden lighthouse was sold to a family who moved it and restored it as a private dwelling, so the structure now stands away from the cape. The active light, automated since 1969, is a white 12.4 m pyramidal tower showing a white flash every 6 seconds. It was listed under Canada's heritage lighthouse protection law on 16 April 2015.

The site is reachable from Highway 20 near New London by turning onto Cousins Shore Road. The grounds are private, so respect access restrictions when visiting.

The first lighthouse, in service from 1905, was bought by a family after its 1969 replacement and moved to be restored as a dwelling. The current tower, dating from 1965, was automated from the start and shows a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 8 nautical miles.
