Carmannah Point Lighthouse

 

BC’s Carmanah Point Light Station is a lighthouse on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island at the entrance from the Pacific Ocean to the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The Carmanah Point Light Station was established in 1891. The first light was built of wood and was attached to the keeper’s housing. The present tower was built in 1920 of concrete and remains in operation.
