North Rustico Harbour Light, Maritime lighthouse in Resort Municipality, Canada

North Rustico Harbour Light is a white wooden lighthouse with a square pyramidal tower 10 m (34 ft) tall, topped by a red lantern and gallery. It is one of the last four lighthouse houses remaining in Prince Edward Island, built to plans of the Department of Marine and Fisheries. Its isophase light shows yellow for 5 seconds and dark for 5 seconds, with a focal plane of 12.5 m and a range of 13 nautical miles.

The station was established in 1876, built to the plans of the Department of Marine and Fisheries to make fishing in the area safer. The present lighthouse dates from 1899 and is one of the last four lighthouse dwellings left in Prince Edward Island. It was recognized as a federal heritage building on 5 September 1991 and designated a heritage place by the Department of Tourism and Culture in 2012.

The lighthouse is one of the last four lightkeeper's houses remaining in Prince Edward Island, a white wooden house with a red gallery and lantern. It was recognized as a federal heritage building on 5 September 1991 and designated a heritage place by the Department of Tourism and Culture in 2012. The Canadian Coast Guard operates it, and its isophase light shows a yellow flash every ten seconds, visible for 13 nautical miles.

The light is managed by the Canadian Coast Guard and stands at the entrance to North Rustico Bay on the north coast of Queens County. It is a white wooden lighthouse with a red gallery and lantern, 10 m tall, showing a yellow light 5 seconds on and 5 seconds off with a range of 13 nautical miles. View it from outside; the tower is not open for climbing.

The building was moved to its present location after the destructive storm of 1899, demonstrating the engineering resilience of that era. Many visitors fail to realize the lighthouse originally stood in a different place before being relocated and reconstructed.
