This unique "hunchback" shaped lighthouse is the fourth oldest surviving lighthouse in Nova Scotia. The building, an odd assortment of angles and peaks, has a small square lanternroom at the front. Overlooking Liverpool Harbour, it is the centerpiece of Fort Point Lighthouse Park. It houses a small museum and is surrounded by beautiful gardens.
