Great attraction in PEI and one of the only lighthouses you can actually climb up. My family had a wonderful time. It’s not a long visit but still has some great history to it. There are washrooms and a little shop, and a restaurant right beside it as well!

Beautiful lighthouse area. Well taken care of and decorated. The theme here is red. Red benches and red picnic tables for you to enjoy. Take a stroll along the beach, go up the lighthouse for a small fee, or gaze out over the water. Either way, Point Prim Lighthouse is definitely worth the drive. A very picturesque lighthouse.

Loved this place. Not crowded, lovely drive, great spot for iconic east coast photos. You can also climb to the top of the lighthouse. Try the ice cream just up the street, so good. And friendly family serving it!

Must see. This lighthouse is the biggest and oldest if PEI. National park. The team is welcoming, friendly and well informed. It is possible to climb all the way up the lighthouse. Gift shop & restrooms also there.

We went in early morning and love this place. It's pretty close to the ferry terminal and have a good view. Should have come in evening to see the sunset.

The staff in the gift shop and at the base of the lighthouse are all very knowledgeable and friendly... The lighthouse is well maintained, for being the oldest in the province. The climb up and down was fun, with a beautiful view at the top. The proceeds from the gift shop and admission all goes into the PEI Lighthouse Society which maintains the lighthouses in the province

One of my stops on the way through to Cape Breton. Totally worth it. Pay the money and climb up to the top. You won't regret it.

Great local tourist attraction. With some of the most lovely island staff. Very knowledgeable as well. Be sure to look for Angus the seal!

Drive out to Point Prim for a visit to the majestic lighthouse! If you're staying in Charlottetown it's only about a 45 minute drive. The lighthouse sits prominently awaiting visitors from afar. The location is beautiful for incredible views. For a small fee, you can climb the steep winding staircase to the top. Just warning you that it is really steep and may not be safe for some. Once you get to the top you can experience the beauty surrounding the area. A visitor like me from a desert area really appreciates the sites along the shore. It was definitely worth the short drive!

A really well maintained lighthouse. It is apparently the first and oldest in PEI. It was operating when we got there keeping the ships away. It was in a nice space with grass surrounding it, which was great because it's been raining all day and we would have been in all the mud otherwise. It's a nice setting and if it were dry there is a red beach you could walk along surrounding the lighthouse. It's about 45 minutes outside of Charlotte town with a lot of nice farmland and quiet scenery. We came to it after going to visit the lighthouse in Murray Harbour which was being renovated when we got there. It was up high and had a view of great red cliffs.

Beautiful spot! For a small fee of $5, you can climb the stairs inside to the top. The stairs are steep and it can be narrow, so be cautious. Going up is easy, but coming down is harder. Definitely worth the $5!
