Built in 1880, Souris East Lighthouse is a white and red square tapered wood constructed tower standing 14.3 meters above the cliff on Knight Point overlooking the town of Souris. Souris was incorporated in 1910 and the Souris East Lighthouse has always been the symbol of the town and area. In 1991, Frank McIntosh, the last lighthouse keeper on PEI, retired from the Souris East Light.
Visitors can climb the 45 steps to the lantern room, proceed to the outer platform to enjoy and photograph the panoramic view of Colville Bay, the fishing, pleasure and commercial boats docked at the port, the Northumberland Strait, the Town of Souris, the Isle de Madeleine ferry, and, on a clear day, the Cape Breton Highlands.
This cache was placed with the cooperation of the Souris Harbour Authority and the Points East Lighthouse Treasure Festival.
