About Port Bickerton Lighthouse Interpretive Centre
Housed in a former lighthouse on the rocks at Port Bickerton, the Centre celebrates the province's lighthouse heritage — the histories, the keepers and the mysterious pull of the lights — with exhibits inside, a light tower on the roof and an oceanfront lookoff with sweeping views of sea and village. The former lightkeeper's residence now hosts an artist retreat, and the site is part of Port Bickerton Lighthouse Beach Park, whose 3.7 km of nature trails draw hikers and birders year-round.
Features & Highlights
Detailed Information
The Port Bickerton Lighthouse Interpretive Centre turns a decommissioned light station into the province's home base for lighthouse history. Inside the former light, exhibits cover the keepers, the shipwrecks and the pull of the lights; a light tower rises from the roof and an oceanfront lookoff surveys the village and sea. The Port Bickerton Lighthouse Association has run the site since 1997, and the old keeper's residence now hosts an artist-in-residence program, with an annual arts festival rounding out the calendar.
The centre sits inside Port Bickerton Lighthouse Beach Park, whose 3.7 kilometres of shoreline trails make it a walking destination in its own right. Find it at 408 Lighthouse Road, Port Bickerton, open seasonally through summer, rated 4.7 across 109 Google reviews. Pair it with our Port Bickerton Lighthouse page and the wider Eastern Shore guide.
