Sights in Pelee Island

  1. Fish Point Nature Reserve

    Fish Point Nature Reserve is a long sandy spit – absolutely the southernmost point of Canada. A 3.2km return forest walkway leads to the point, one of the island’s best swim spots. Like other spots in the region, Fish Point is a birder’s Eden, with black-crowned night herons and a multitude of shorebirds.

  2. Pelee Island Lighthouse

    The 1833 Pelee Island Lighthouse on the island’s northeastern corner stopped flashing in 1909 and was derelict until restoration in 2000. It’s a 10-minute return walk from the end of East Shore Rd. You can’t access the lighthouse, but it’s interesting (and photogenic) nonetheless.
