Pelee Island Lighthouse

[Manfred M]

The Pelee Island Lighthouse was built in 1833 and "last light" occurred in 1901. It is located on the north-east corner of Pelee Island, which is the southern-most inhabited place in Canada (Middle Island, that is just south of Pelee Island is the southern most point in Canada, but being part of a National Park and wildlife reserve, not a lot of people get there). Pelee Island, is located in the middle of Lake Erie, is the largest island on the lake. It's about a 90 minute ferry ride from the mainland.



We spent the day biking around the island (around 30km / 19 miles) and did a short stop at the lighthouse. Frankly, we enjoyed visiting the Pelee Island winery a lot more...

Looks like a rugged place to go around in. Is it still possible to go up the lighthouse? Did you take any action shots by the water?

Nicely composed.

[Ziggy]

Very nice. I love the old lights.

Yes. We were on our bikes and were able to ride a fair bit towards the lighthouse. A bit farther for people who decided to drive and walk.

Is it still possible to go up the lighthouse?

No; it is closed to the public.

Did you take any action shots by the water?

What action? It is at a very sparsely inhabited area and the beaches on the island get a lot less "action" than on the mainland. The most action seemed to be the stable flies trying to bite my ankles.
