Seacow Head Light, Heritage lighthouse in Prince County, Canada
The octagonal lighthouse stands 18.3 meters tall at the entrance to Bedeque Bay and Summerside Harbour in Prince Edward Island.
Built in 1864, the lighthouse supported maritime navigation for fisheries and shipbuilding industries, later facilitating steamship traffic between Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
The structure maintains its traditional Canadian Coast Guard colors with a white tower and red details on the lantern and railings.
The automated light system flashes white twice every 12 seconds, providing visibility for vessels within a range of 12 nautical miles.
The name originates from walruses that inhabited the region, which were locally known as sea cows during the early settlement period.
