Canadian Lighthouses

With significant coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, the St.
Lawrence River, and the Great Lakes, Canada has hundreds of lighthouses that have faithfully served mariners through the years.
Using photographs, information, and insights gathered while visiting most of the country’s nearly 700 lighthouses, Kraig Anderson has developed LighthouseFriends.com to help others learn about lighthouses and plan their own visits to these historic structures.

Intuitive icons are shown for each lighthouse to quickly help you determine if, among other things, a lighthouse is easily accessible, open for climbing, offers overnight accommodations, has appeared in a movie, and if it is reportedly haunted.

A picture and information on each lighthouse are available without a data connection, but a data connection is needed to view maps and the full gallery of images.
