Panmure Island Lighthouse and Gift Shop

About this Property

PEI’s oldest wooden lighthouse and Heritage site. Climb to the lantern, take in spectacular views. The lighthouse has been a symbol of the local fishing and farming community of Panmure Island for over 150 years. With its classic design, and visual prominence in relationship to the land and water, it has often represented Prince Edward Island in provincial tourist material and continues to be a major tourist attraction in this area. The four-story Panmure Head Lighthouse provides a spectacular view when driving unto Panmure Island. As the tallest built structure visible from the water, it still serves its original purpose as a navigational aid for both recreational and fishing vessels. The interior layout is simple, with wooden ladder-type stairs leading to the lantern room. Come take a tour and browse our local gift shop.
