Westhaver Island Lighthouse, perched on a rocky outcrop off the coast of Nova Scotia, is a quintessential example of the region's maritime heritage. Originally built in 1881, and later renovated in the early 2020s, this lighthouse stands as a beacon along the rugged coastline near Chester, offering photographers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding islands. The lighthouse’s red and white tower contrasts beautifully with the rocky shoreline and crashing waves, making it a striking subject for both landscape and seascape photography. The location is particularly captivating at sunrise or sunset, when the soft light enhances the natural beauty of the area. Accessible by boat, Westhaver Island is a peaceful, remote destination that provides endless opportunities to capture the wild charm of Nova Scotia’s coastline. (Chester, Nova Scotia, Canada)
