Brighton Beach Range Front Light
The Brighton Beach Range Front Light is a charming and historically significant lighthouse located in Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island. Positioned along the picturesque waterfront, this classic white structure with its striking red lantern room has long served as a crucial navigational aid for maritime traffic entering the busy Charlottetown Harbour. It works in tandem with the rear range light to ensure safe passage through the coastal waters. The lighthouse is a beloved local landmark, reflecting the deep maritime heritage of the Canadian Maritimes. Visitors to the Brighton Beach area can enjoy scenic views of the harbor and the lighthouse, which is especially photogenic during sunrise or sunset.
