Seacow Head Light, Heritage lighthouse in Prince County, Canada

Seacow Head Light is an 18-metre white wooden tower with an octagonal plan, open timber framing, a gallery and a red lantern, standing west of Central Bedeque on Prince Edward Island's south-central coast. Its light sits at a focal height of 27 metres and shows two white flashes every 12 seconds, visible for 12 nautical miles.

The structure was built in 1864 to support the fishing and maritime industries in the region. It later became essential for steamship traffic connecting the island to nearby areas.

The name Seacow Head refers to the walrus, once abundant in these waters and called a sea cow by locals; it has nothing to do with Steller's sea cow or other sirenians. The tower appeared in several episodes of the television series Road to Avonlea, where it was the home of character Gus Pike.

The lighthouse is not open to visitors, so the tower can only be seen from outside. It stands on the south-central coast west of Central Bedeque, and coastal erosion led to its relocation in 1979. Its light shows two white flashes every 12 seconds, visible up to 12 nautical miles (about 22 km).

The name refers to the walrus, once abundant in the surrounding waters, and has nothing to do with Steller's sea cow or other sirenians. The lighthouse itself appeared in several episodes of the television series Road to Avonlea, where it was the home of the character Gus Pike.
