Geocache Description:

Wood Islands Lighthouse
Take Lighthouse Road near the ferry terminal, second stage of the cache was muggled, so enjoy the first step and tell me how many lighthouses you can see.

Wood Islands Lighthouse 2 of 4 in the Hills and Harbours Lighthouse Series
Built in 1876, situated on the south side of the eastern portion of the Island. In 1941, a fog horn was requested to help the ferry in docking. In July of that year, the horn was received and made ready for operation. In 1958, the dwelling and light tower were electrified and the light itself operated on a 1000 watt airway beacon lamp and had changed from a fixed light to a flashing light.The original lightkeepers quarters are still an integral part of the structure. This light has the unique distinction of being the last lighthouse on PEI where the lightkeeper and his family lived right in the lighthouse. Open June to early September.

Instead of going through the toll booth for the ferry to Nova Scotia, turn off onto Lighthouse Road which will take you to Wood Island's Provincial Park. The lighthouse is in full view at the end of the same road. The coordinates will lead you to a small lighthouse. Inside, up high, you can see the coordinates for the cache container. The cache originally contained assorted pins, tatoos, a pewter frame, vouchers for Founders Hall, and other small treasures. This is a lovely spot to watch the ferries coming and going.
