Who/What is the St Peters Harbour Lighthouse Society?
We are local volunteers who share an interest in conserving the St Peters Harbour Lighthouse and associated history.
St Peters Harbour (Havre St Pierre) was one of the first french settlements on PEI.The original St Peters Harbour Lighthouse was built in the late 1800s.
We are a group of homeowners, cottagers and business folks from the lighthouse neighbourhoods: Morell and St. Peters Bay as well as the beach districts in the Harbour vicinity. Our interest is not complicated, simply to maintain and to preserve the lighthouse as well as the history and heritage of the old St Peters Harbour area.
The lighthouse has provided a nostalgic echo of Harbour history and friendly companion to our daily beach experience for decades.
We invite you to join us on our journey: Feel free to peruse copies of previous newsletters, check out our photos on instagram, and learn more about the history and heritage of the lighthouse and surrounding area. Stay in touch through our facebook page, or contact us for more information and to get involved.

Where is this Lighthouse you Speak of?
People frequently ask where the lighthouse is, and how they can get there. Though we encourage those who share our interest in enjoying and preserving the St Peters Harbour lighthouse to visit and take photos of this beautiful historical place, we also invite visitors to consider the environmental impact of car traffic on this delicate ecological site on Prince Edward Island's north shore.
Parking is extremely limited; why not walk along the beach, or bike from your cottage or from the main road to get to the lighthouse?
Remember, there are no garbage disposal bins, washrooms or snack bars on site. Try to stick to the existing "path", and for goodness sake, don't walk on the dunes!!
Please, enjoy the natural surroundings, and leave everything as you found it so that others can enjoy it also.
