Standing high above the cliffs at the southern tip of Grand Manan Island, the Southwest Head Lighthouse has guided mariners through the Bay of Fundy since 1880. Originally built as a wooden tower, it was later replaced in 1959 with the modern square structure that still marks the headland today. Though the tower itself is closed, the grounds remain open, offering sweeping views of Fundy’s rugged coastline and a chance to connect with one of New Brunswick’s most storied lights.
