Summary[edit]

Description

Balache Point Lighthouse.

This is the Rear Range Light that was built in 1963, there were two range lights but this is the only one still standing. The Front Range Light was replaced by a skeleton tower in 1991.

This light is on top of a small hill on the Cape Breton side of the Canso Causeway, and beside the Canso Canal.

This is the only lighthouse located in a cemetery in Canada, and probably the world, making it very unique.

Tower Height: 6.7m (22ft)

Light Height: 14m (46ft) above water level
