North Rustico Lighthouse

The North Rustico Lighthouse build in 1876 is a two storey structure with attached former keeper's dwelling. The tower is topped by a red iron lantern which is enclosed by a railed observation deck.

A severe winter storm in 1899 almost destroyed it. But, local residents rescued the building and nurtured it.

The style of the building is unique because it is only one of four remaining lighthouses in Prince Edward Island with attached keeper's dwellings.
