Located at the tip of Point Roberts, Washington — a unique geographic oddity accessible by land only through Canada — this decommissioned lighthouse once guided vessels through the treacherous waters of Boundary Bay and the Strait of Georgia. The light station served as a critical navigational aid for cross-border maritime traffic between the U.S. and Canada.

The lighthouse is no longer active and is not open to the public, though visitors can view and photograph the tower from nearby. Golden hour and sunset provide the best photography conditions, with dramatic backdrops of the San Juan Islands and Canadian coastline.

Nearby attractions include Lighthouse Marine Park, Monument Park at the U.S.-Canada boundary marker, and miles of quiet, windswept beaches ideal for birdwatching.
