The West Point Lighthouse Inn is among the most recognizable places in the PEI Tourism environment.
The Inn was originally created in 1987 by the West Point Development Corporation (WPDC). In 2009 and after 20+ years in operation the WPDC undertook a project to redevelop their facilities and surrounding area in order to make West Point a leader in the Tourism industry in PEI

The West Point Lighthouse stands among the Island's most recognizable places. At 69 feet tall, it's PEI's tallest and one of the most unique lighthouses due to it's black and white stripes of paint. Built in 1875, put into operation in 1876, and manned until 1963 when the keeper, who lived in the attached dwelling, retired, today the lantern operates electrically. In 1987, the inn was established by a group of enterprising volunteers based in western Prince Edward Island.
The lighthouse offers visitors a museum and an opportunity to enter the lighthouse and climb to the lamp room at the top to see the spectacular view.

West Point Lighthouse, Prince Edward Island
West Point Lighthouse is called the first of the 2nd generation of lighthouses on PEI. It was the first one built by the new Department of Marine (also called Department of Marine and Fisheries). West Point was the first of the square towers, and the highest at 20.6 m (67 feet 8 inches) from ground to vane. Built by the firm of Messers. Mugridge and Co. from Shediac, New Brunswick for $4,559.59, it consisted of a square tapered tower of frame construction set on stone foundations. It had a 1 ½ storey, gable-roofed house with a lean-to storage shed. There were only two keepers during the 88 years before the tower was electrified in 1963.
In 1983, a volunteer group, the West Point Development Corporation, leased the tower from the Canadian Coast Guard and on July 1, 1984, began operating it as Canada's only Inn in a Lighthouse. On May 21, 2002, it became the first lighthouse on PEI to have ownership transferred from the Federal Government to a community group.

Lighthouses and Lobsters at West Point, Prince Edward Island
Lighthouse and Lobsters at Prince Edward Island
The first mode of transportation for early settlers was the sea. Lighthouses were as important to them in their trade and commerce, particularly in shipbuilding, as the railway was after Confederation. Many colonial or first-generation lighthouses -- those built before 1873 -- are octagonal shaped, and were constructed when timber was abundant in this province.
The second- generation lighthouses, those built after 1873, are square tapered. Some of the largest timber had to be imported from New Brunswick as the Island timber supply had been depleted by the shipbuilding industry. Each lighthouse had its individual day markings and distinguishing flash patterns.
West Point Lighthouse, constructed in 1875, was the first of the second generation lighthouses on Prince Edward Island. The reconstructed gable-roofed lighthouse keeper's house with lean-to storage provides an example common among lighthouses of this style.
Combining distinctive architecture, folklore, shipwrecks, and dramatic scenery on the western entrance of the Northumberland Strait, the West Point Lighthouse began a second career as a lighthouse museum, country inn, restaurant and craftshop in 1984.
Like all of PEI the area is famous for its lobster with bright red shells and juicy tender meat. Once so common that they were used as fertilizer, lobster has now become a gourmet delicacy. Lobsters have ten legs, beady eyes, long antennae and a crust-like shell. The bright red colour characteristic of the lobster is only achieved by cooking. When alive, lobster are usually greenish-blue and speckled with dark spots. The meat, when cooked, is a delicate white tinged with red.
East Point Lighthouse
A beautiful landmark lighthouse on the easternmost tip of Prince Edward Island. The only remaining active lighthouse built during Canada's confederation, the East Point Lighthouse is about to celebrate 150 years of keeping watch over the safety of ships plying the waters of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Northumberland Strait.
