Very beautiful. Unfortunately I didn’t know the museum was open public. I thought it was just for guests at the inn. I enjoyed the area in general and the beach and wish I had the loot until to visit the museum too

What a view!
Family self guided tour $23 The climb to the top is Not for the faint of heart! Steep stairs but well worth the view.
Old lighthouse with accommodation if you want. Walked the Cedar Dunes as well.

A nice size museum in this tall lighthouse. The exhibits were interesting and the design of the lighthouse is different and pretty.

It was fabulous. We saw a beautiful sunset from the top of the lighthouse. The best was that we were allowed to go into the museum at night because we were in the Keepers quarters. It taught us about lighthouses in general and all the ones on PEI.

This was my first lighthouse experience. It’s very pretty and majestic from the outside. Climbing was really easy and I’m in not so good shape so most people will not have a problem with it. The view was ok but the lighthouse is really what it’s about.

This is an amazing lighthouse. I love the black and white paint. The interior is an interesting museum with a climb to the top. Don’t miss it

Is there still a beach to walk on after the hurricane? Is there a beach at the and of MacDonald Rd in West Point?

We were there in September 2019 the week after Dorion passed. The beach can still be walked but there was a lot of damage to the dunes. There was talk about possibly moving the lighthouse back from the beach.

Hi-
We Will be taking a cruise in 21 days, and this is one of our reports we will be stopping at. The excursions for tours through the cruise line are so darn expensive that I was hoping I could get some advice from the locals.
Primarily, for two seniors who cannot do a whole lot of walking what are the best things to see on this island? I am very partial to light houses, but I don't want to rent a car or anything.
Can anyone give some advice?
Regards, Mary

Take a tour. Don't drive. You'll waste your time driving. It's about 2 hours drive from West Point Lighthouse to Charlottetown, one way. If you take a tour, they will show you popular highlights plus you won't have to drive.
