Frenchman's Bay West Lighthouse is part of a unique pair of lighthouses, sitting just on the other side of Frenchman's Bay Passage from its "twin," the Frenchman's Bay East Lighthouse. Both lighthouses are white and short, with the western one having a turquoise tip and the eastern one having a red tip, reflecting port and starboard. This lighthouse marks the end of the Beachpoint Promenade Trail and provides stunning views of Lake Ontario.

In 1863 or 1876, the Frenchman's Bay Harbour Company first erected a lighthouse on the coast off Frenchman’s Bay to improve harbor conditions - on the east pier.

The current lighthouse on the west pier was presumably built in 2001 as part of the Pickering Millennium Trail Waterfront Project; the cylindrical lighthouse is 15 meters high and is colored white and green in the upper part. The lighthouse on the east pier has the same dimensions, but with red color in the upper part. It was probably rebuilt in the same period.
