For a glimpse into maritime history, take a guided tour of this special lighthouse, erected in 1917 to manage increased traffic at the east end of Lake Erie. Designated a National Historic Site and a Classified Federal Building, the lighthouse is open for tours every other Saturday throughout the summer months (June-September), though tickets are required. No walk-ins are allowed on tour dates.
The lighthouse grounds are open to pedestrians, cyclists, and permitted motorized handicap scooters – with gatehouse approval and a signed waiver – on weekdays from 3-5 PM and weekends from 10 AM-5 PM. Please note that access to the lighthouse tower is not included in these visits.

A must-do after any event along Niagara's South Coast. Don't let your experience end without witnessing the magic of a vibrant sky ablaze with colour.
Niagara's South Coast is situated on treaty land. This land is steeped in the rich history of the First Nations such as the Hatiwendaronk, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. There are many First Nations, Métis and Inuit from across Turtle Island that live and work here today. Niagara's South Coast stands with all Indigenous peoples, past and present, in promoting the wise stewardship of the lands on which we live.
