Cape Mudge Lighthouse
Cape Mudge Lighthouse stands at the southern tip of Quadra Island, overlooking Discovery Passage with a classic white tower that photographs well against the surrounding forest and water. You can frame the lighthouse with the Strait of Georgia stretching behind it, or position yourself lower on the rocky shoreline to get foreground texture with the structure rising above. The passage sees consistent boat and ferry traffic, so patience rewards you with vessels passing behind the tower for added depth and scale. Golden hour light in the evening hits the white exterior beautifully, while overcast days soften the contrast and bring out the deep greens of the surrounding trees. A wide to mid-range zoom in the 24-70mm range handles most compositions well here. The lighthouse is accessible via a short walk from the Quadra Island road network, and the surrounding Cape Mudge area offers additional coastal and cultural points of interest nearby.
