Of the 3 lighthouses we visited on PEI, Point Prim was the best and most worthwhile to drive out to. However, be aware that it is also the most difficult one to climb to the top of. Don’t wear flimsy footwear and watch your head. If you want stairs rather than ladders, consider going to one of the many other lighthouses on the island.

Lovely place, the ladies in the gift shop were very polite and kind, they had just finished cleaning and it smelled so good in there 😊. They have the old reflector from North Cape (quite far). They charge the visit inside the lighthouse, but it's worthy. Watch you step, step boards are narrow.

My wife and I visited Point Prim Lighthouse on the recommendation of our bed and breakfast hosts. The lighthouse is situated less than 30 min from Charlottetown on a beautiful stretch of rugged coast. We climbed the lighthouse via ladders. Each level told the story of the lighthouse and gave a snapshot of life when keepers tended the light. The views from the top were spectacular! Even if you don’t climb the lighthouse, it is worth visiting. It’s a popular spot so be prepared to wait to climb the lighthouse. The gift shop also had a lot of locally made gifts and souvenirs. In my opinion, this is a must-see spot on PEI if you’re on this part of the island.
