Lighthouses are an iconic part of Atlantic Canada's coastal landscape and maritime heritage. Featuring a different lighthouse with each seasonal box allows us to share a little more of the history, scenery, and stories of our region with our subscribers.

Our lighthouse series explores landmarks throughout New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador, giving subscribers the opportunity to discover coastal communities from across Atlantic Canada.

We select lighthouses based on their history, location, architecture, stories, and connection to Atlantic Canada's coastal culture. We also love highlighting both well-known landmarks and lesser-known coastal gems.

Yes. We feature a different lighthouse with each Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter/Holiday Atlantic Canada Box, so subscribers can discover four unique coastal landmarks throughout the year.

Sambro Island Lighthouse, at the entrance to Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia, is the oldest surviving lighthouse in the Americas, first lit in 1758 and still standing today.
