Killarney East Lighthouse
A white lighthouse at the entrance to Killarney harbour, surrounded by flat pink granite slabs. Locals gather here to watch sunsets over Georgian Bay.
Built in 1909, Killarney East Lighthouse stands on a granite headland at the eastern entrance to Killarney harbour. It is a white square wooden tower that is still in use. A drive of about 5 minutes east from the village along Lighthouse Road brings you there. Around the lighthouse are large expanses of pink granite smoothed by glaciers. Visitors sit on the rocks to look out over Georgian Bay and across to George Island. Sunsets and summer stargazing are popular, and some people swim or picnic here. The lighthouse itself is not open for climbing, but access is free. The rocks near the water are slippery, so take care.
