St. Andrews North Point Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in St. Andrews, Canada.
Description
St. Andrews North Point Lighthouse is a coastal structure at the harbor entrance featuring a white wooden octagonal pyramidal tower with a red lantern. The 9-meter tall structure stands at the gateway to Passamaquoddy Bay and operates with solar-powered illumination that produces red flashes.
History
The structure was built in 1833 and has guided ships along New Brunswick's coast ever since. The Pendlebury family maintained the station for nearly a century, operating it continuously until 1938.
Culture
The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of New Brunswick and marks the entrance to Passamaquoddy Bay and the St. Croix River. Locals and visitors use this place to connect with the region's seafaring traditions.
Practical
The location is accessible on foot and offers free access for visitors who wish to view the structure from outside. It is best to visit during clear weather to fully appreciate the harbor views and coastal surroundings.
Did you know?
The structure received significant modifications in 1840, and in 1841 a new lantern was installed from Head Harbour Lighthouse. These upgrades reflect the technical improvements needed to guide ships more safely through these waters.
