Lovely place Picnicking spot and clam digging

Matthew Gates

One of our favourite places to visit in Nova Scotia, every time we head up that way we always make it a point to stop here. Amazing view and very clean grounds... other then the washrooms... they were disgusting in 2015 when we visited and again this year. The student hired did not acknowledge visitors well but we understand this site does not have a manager overseeing it. Aside from that we love the place, the first year we dug clams over at the Five Islands Provincial Park and then brought them over to the Lighthouse Park to cook them over one of their cooking stations. Awesome experience that made our trip! There is a water tap for washing, games outside to play such as washer toss. We were very lucky to see the island in person that had the tunnel in it before it collapsed. High recommend stopping here... just don't use the washrooms. Will change to 5-stars if the washrooms are in a better state on our next visit.

It's a lighthouse! There's a beautiful view, and monuments detailing the lighthouse and the property it's on. Definitely worth a stop if you're traveling through the area.

Rob Murray

Nice little spot to stretch your legs, let the dog and kids play. There is a roughly 1.5 km loop around the perimeter of the park.

Been here last year but went back again yesterday as part of touring Parrsborro, Port Greville and Advocate Harbour. It is so beautiful. We were too early at 8am but we still enjoyed the place. I climbed up to the top where the light is last year and you could see a view of the Bay of Fundy and the five sisters on low tide. It also has a picnic area.

Matthew Maisine

Five Islands Lighthouse Park is a costal park located north of the Minas Basin of Bay of Fundy. Its main attraction is the panoramic view of five islands namely Old Wife, Brothers, Cape Blomidon and Cape Split and the wooden built Lighthouse which is said to be relocated here in 2008. Apart from that the park offers 300 meters of ocean front and and about a kilometre stretch of gravelled beach. It is maintained by the Municipality of Colchester and it is a UNESCO Global Geopark part of the Cliffs of Fundy. Kids can enjoy in the park a ship like unique playground and an open picnic shelter with fire hearths for barbecue. The accessible restrooms are cleaned daily from May to October. Also, it is among the best places to enjoy the sunset. Cliff edges are shallow underneath because of erosion due to tides so avoid going close to the end of cliff. This costal area experiences world’s highest tides so walking on mudflats to the islands could be treacherous and dangerous.

Kyle Burton

Great spot to stop and check out the islands. Lots of parking and bathrooms on-site.

Brad Landry

Great place, not much to do and dangerous for kids... the mud flats are very silky so be careful... Also the tides come in terribly fast so dont stay out to long, and know your tide times...its a must

Yvonne Wall King

Beautiful area

Joanne Abela

Beautiful views and location

Josh Tabor

Views are great and the little gift shop wasnt overly expensive. Lots of Nova Scotia themed items, rocks, shells, christmas ornaments, post cards, etc. The view from the top first starts with a steep climb up a set of ladder stairs; view from the top is quite nice and worth the climb.

rob fraser

Spectacular ocean view as well as history info

David Foster

I have visited this park and attraction on a couple occasions and love the care and attention put into it by those involved. It is a wonderful little piece of the region’s history, lovingly preserved by many people, which is no small feat considering coastal erosion keeps trying to swallow up the lighthouse. Great for a picnic stop, to see the five islands, experience (and climb) a lighthouse, and more!

LaRoux Musseau

Nice view. Not much to do there.

Katherine Ogden

We picnic here on a regular basis. Great play structure, a huge gazebo with picnic tables , and a washroom with hot water. All of that on top of a spectacular view!

Ricardo F

Great park for a walk at the beach, for the kids to play at the very well structured vessel, and even for cooking at the shelter. It has a good sized parking lot and decent washrooms. It is very well maintained and a beautiful view of the …

Nice area. Very picturesque.

Jonathan Huisinga

There's no better place to catch a cool ocean breeze and let the kids run while taking in the awe inspiring Bay of Fundy!

James

This park is the perfect place to view all five of the islands. It's also a great place to stretch your legs and get some fresh air during a roadtrip. There is a play area for children, bathrooms, and a shaded area with picnic tables. The lighthouse is a charming little building with a gift shop inside and you can climb to the top for a great view of the islands. There is also a couple of signs explaining the local history of the area and the lighthouse itself. I would definitely recommend stopping to relax or take a walk on the beach.

Maurice Johnson

Nice little park with some simple playground equipment, a covered eating area that has several picnic tables. 2 which had wheelchair accessable spaces. Bathroom on site with flush toilets. The lighthouse is neat as well, with some stuff from local artisans for sale inside.

Nathalie D'Auteuil

What a beautiful little park on the shores of the Bay of Fundy and along the Glooscap Trail scenic drive! Unobstructed views of the five islands, a cute little lighthouse, plenty of picnic tables including a large covered area for those hot summer days. Plenty of parking, and easy to find. Just follow the signs!

Sandy Hopkins

Nice to see the addition of the play ground.

May Zhagro

A must stop if you are visiting the Five Islands area! We found this Five Islands Lighthouse to be the best view in the area where you are able to see all Five Islands. The road in/out is full of pot holes, so drive slowly and carefully. Lots of areas to explore, including the beach, the park, and the lighthouse itself. Picnic tables, bbq, and a playground were all available for use. When I went, the lighthouse was decorated with Halloween props (early October). The lighthouse is situated at a peaceful and scenic location and I would highly recommend stopping by for a visit.

Bev MacDonald

Lovely fall day

Chali33 MacDonald

bob boberan

Awesome view!

Robert Buck

Great views

Davit Bernard

Surprisingly fun. I spent more time here than I had planned but it was worth it. It was low tide when I was there and we walked along the mud. I will need to return during high tide.

Michelle MacKinnon

The view is majestic, however the condition of the railing is a bit unnerving. A couple of adirondack chairs, ladder ball and washer toss makes for an enjoyable visit.
