    Tips

    Between 1843 and 1846, a breakwater was built, creating a harbor basin in Whitby from the natural bay where Pringle Creek flows into Lake Ontario. In 1857, a wooden lighthouse was built on the west pier, which is connected to the breakwater. The wooden tower was removed in 1958, and a lighthouse was erected on the new east pier instead.
    Since 2021, the white cylindrical tower on the east pier displays a red flashing light, while a mast on the west breakwater displays a green flashing light. (Visit June 4, 2025)
