Facts and practical information

The Blockhouse Point Light is a lighthouse at Rocky Point, Prince Edward Island, Canada, on the western shore of Charlottetown Harbour. The present lighthouse, constructed in 1876, replaced older lighthouses at the site which are believed to have been constructed as early as 1846 to serve as a light for the harbour. The lighthouse is active as of 2019, and consists of an 18.3 m wooden pyramidal tower, attached to a two-storey keeper's house. ()
