Picturesque tall lighthouse on the beautiful south coast of Price Edward Island. They had a super cute gift shop with souvenires, and wears. My sister and I each bought these beautiful hand painted pottery dishes for grating garlic. You can even pay as small fee ($5) to go up inside the lighthouse all the way to the top. The money goes to maintaining the lighthouse so we happily paid. The inside is set up like a museum and a greater who tells you the history of the lighthouse and it's keeper. You can even crank the fog horn with is fun! There are several levels to climb and it's cool to see how the keeper lived in the small spaces The view from the top is incredible. Sweeping views of the sea backed by lush evergreens.

I visited Point Prim Lighthouse with my friend on a weekday with a cloudy weather. The Lighthouse is open for public access and there is (CAD$6+tax) charges for it. The stairs are nearly straight and steep. The interior of lighthouse has preserved the life of person was used to work there when it was actively used. There is also display of several light lamps that were used in ancient time explaining how they were used and an active honk-able fog machine as well. Apart from that, there is also a collection of shells, water animals (crabs) and artifacts that people have donated. Overall, the place was peaceful and not crowded while I visited and food was also delicious which is available at nearby location.

Awesome lighthouse to visit and you can go right to the top. We came on a cooler, less busy day and there were still lots of people. There is a small fee to go to the top but the visit is free. Not many made the trek up to the top at the time we were there. The stair are steep so not for the faint of heart. It’s a great spot for photography, picnics and even has a nice souvenir shop as well. There is a cafe just down the driveway as well, if you want something to eat. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are people will will tell you about the history of their lighthouse and they are very proud of it.

Incredible lighthouse! You can climb it all the way to the top. You can also set off a fog horn and turn the light on and off! If you ask, they'll give you a guided tour. Totslly worth it for the money that it costs. Less than $10 a person which was not bad considering the cool tour and info. Lots of space on the grounds for a picnic, plenty of informational signs. A nice gift shop as well. I would definetly go back to this place. A good size parkinglot as well. Easy to find. Can't miss it. Special thanks to "Dolphin Derek" our tour guide, and "Lighthouse Laurie" and "Naughty Kim" for all their help!!

This place is one of my favourite memories from my trip to PEI. We visited many lighthouses and many of them look the same. At Point Prim you can actually climb up through all the levels where they have it set up like a working lighthouse. You climb the steep stairs all the way to the top where you see the new light and a great view as far as the eye can see. The interpreter's are awesome really know their stuff. Should definitely stop at Point Prim when on PEI. It does cost a few dollars to go into the lighthouse but well worth it.

Well worth a day trip from Charlottetown. Better than Peggy's Cove lighthouse. Same idea just without the crowds. Small price to actually climb up the lighthouse. Great views and spots to take a picture from the top. Easy climb for those able to climb. Chowder House just down the road or bring a picnic basket to have at the picnic tables. Great little souvenir shop and friendly staff. ON the same road in is also Hannah's Bottle Village. A free attraction well worth spending 30 minutes to visit. Donations accepted.
