Referred to locally as the “Northern light”, the Grand Passage Lighthouse stands on a narrow strip of rugged shoreline along the northern tip of Brier Island, in Westport, Nova Scotia

The Grand Passage Lighthouse is an 8.5 metre (28 feet) square, reinforced-concrete tower located on the northern tip of Brier Island, Nova Scotia. The lighthouse marks the northern entrance to Grand Passage, which runs between Brier Island and the western shore of St. Mary’s Bay. The current lighthouse was built in 1964.
