History:
East Quoddy Light is located at the northern point of Campobello Island ( part of New Brunswick ). The tower is a wooden octagonal shaped tower. The original lantern room was wood but was replaced by the current cast iron lantern room in 1887.
The lighthouse and adjacent buildings sit on a small outcropping of rocks which is accessible by foot for a very short span of time at low tide. You have approximately 1.5 hours to make the crossing to the lighthouse and get back before the tide starts coming in. Once the tide is in you can be stranded for the 8 hour duration of the tide. There are many signs explaining the dangers of crossing over to the lighthouse. There are metal staircases which aid you in making the crossing but many of the rocks are very slippery.
