Enragée Point Lighthouse

Chéticamp & Area

About

The Enrageé Point Lighthouse is an octagonal, tapered, reinforced-concrete lighthouse built in 1956. The lighthouse measures 13.3 metres (44 feet) and overlooks the Gulf of St. Lawrence from its location on Chéticamp Island. The lighthouse is a graceful example of a common Canadian lighthouse design favoured in the mid-20th century. It is the second lighthouse built on the site to guide vessels through the Northumberland Strait, as well as into Chéticamp Harbour.

The lighthouse is highly valued by the community of Chéticamp, located in Inverness County on Cape Breton Island. It is located approximately two hours by car from Sydney, Nova Scotia. 
The structure also holds a place in regional film history; its interior served as a filming location for Little Lorraine, a crime-drama film centered around local Cape Breton maritime history.
