pec On our penultimate day on Prince Edward Island, we wanted to see two more lighthouses to fill in our map. I’ll post that later. We stopped at The General Store in Murray River, the lady at the store told us about a beach and lighthouse close to where we were headed.

We arrived at Cape Bear, it is in the southeast part of the island. This lighthouse was built in 1881. It went electric and was de-staffed in 1960. It was decommissioned in 2011.

Cape Bear is open to the public. Unfortunately the Marconi museum wasn’t open. The first distress signal from the Titanic was received at Cape Bear.

A view from the top, the clouds look a little ominous here, but it turned out to be a great day.

Even though all the lighthouses could use a coat of paint, the weathered look gives them character.

Everytime we went up a lighthouse, we said afterwards that I should have run down and taken a picture of them at the top. Finally on our last lighthouse I remembered.

I took few pictures of this to get the horses in the foreground, in the end the best photo was this one with the wider view.

We headed into Georgetown for some Lupper or Linner.

We finally stopped at the big cow at Cows. We waited for Gillian to come before taking a photo.

We had one last fire. The night sky was the clearest in two weeks. There were lots of stars out. If you look closely you can see the Big Dipper.
