The currentPoint Prim Lighthouse is the fourth in a line of lighthouses built at Point Prim in Canada since 1804. It is located at the mouth of theDigby Gut, which connects theBay of Fundy with theAnnapolis Basin.[1][2] It is located approximately 8.5 km outside Digby.[3]
Around the lighthouse is a small public park with trails and information boards about the history of the lighthouse and the geologic area. The park offers views of the Bay of Fundy and the Digby Gut. It is operated by The Friends of Point Prim and they have slowly gained support from local contributors who have donated two picnic tables. They have also applied for a grant fromHeritage Canada to help with repairs and upkeep of the lighthouse and surrounding parkland.[4] There are also interesting rock formations nearby.[5]
