Five Islands Lighthouse Park — Attraction in Lower Five Islands

Five Islands Lighthouse Park is a costal park located north of the Minas Basin of Bay of Fundy. Its main attraction is the panoramic view of five islands namely Old Wife, Brothers, Cape Blomidon and Cape Split and the wooden built Lighthouse which is said to be relocated here in 2008. Apart from that the park offers 300 meters of ocean front and and about a kilometre stretch of gravelled beach.

It is maintained by the Municipality of Colchester and it is a UNESCO Global Geopark part of the Cliffs of Fundy. Kids can enjoy in the park a ship like unique playground and an open picnic shelter with fire hearths for barbecue. The accessible restrooms are cleaned daily from May to October.

Also, it is among the best places to enjoy the sunset. Cliff edges are shallow underneath because of erosion due to tides so avoid going close to the end of cliff.

This costal area experiences world’s highest tides so walking on mudflats to the islands could be treacherous...

One of our favourite places to visit in Nova Scotia, every time we head up that way we always make it a point to stop here.

Aside from that we love the place, the first year we dug clams over at the Five Islands Provincial Park and then brought them over to the Lighthouse Park to cook them over one of their cooking stations. Awesome experience that made our trip! There is a water tap for washing, games outside to play such as washer toss. We were very lucky to see the island in person that had the tunnel in it before it collapsed. High recommend stopping here... just don't use the washrooms. Will change to 5-stars if the washrooms are in a better state on...

A must stop if you are visiting the Five Islands area! We found this Five Islands Lighthouse to be the best view in the area where you are able to see all Five Islands. The road in/out is full of pot holes, so drive slowly and carefully. Lots of areas to explore, including the beach, the park, and the lighthouse itself. Picnic tables, bbq, and a playground were all available for use. When I went, the lighthouse was decorated with Halloween props (early October). The lighthouse is situated at a peaceful and scenic location and I would highly recommend stopping by...
