This lighthouse is very cool. It is located on the Northern side of Brier Island and is just a short drive past the Brier Island Lodge, it is easily accessable and there are even picnic tables if you wanted to make a special afternoon trip out to take a look at the Light and enjoy the shore it watches over.
At first sight I thought “Wow, that’s the biggest light top I had ever seen”, but after thinking about it and with knowing it’s not very tall compared to most lighthouses I’ve been too, it’s not so much ‘big’ as just really close to the ground. J
The non-traditional shape, and open waters it looks out on, makes it a very picturesque spot. And As a fun bonus, all over the rocky coast there are lots of little piles of Rocks (inukshuk-like) that are quite neat and fun to look around and try to see amongst all the rocks on the shore.
The original Fog Bell for this Lighthouse is located Downtown Digby, and is being display as part of a Memorial to those lost at Sea. More information on this Lighthouse, and Driving directions can be found on Lighthousefriends.comHappy Travels
