| Nearest Town or City: | Long Point Ontario Canada |
| Location: | Long Point, northeastern Lake Erie. |
| Managing Organization: | Canadian Coast Guard |
| Notes: | The 1843 lighthouse was replaced in 1916 because the shifting sands of Long Point had left it dangerously close to the water; it became a hazard and was burned down in 1929. The second order Fresnel lens from the 1843 lighthouse is now on display at the Port Burwell Marine Museum. The present lighthouse was originally 102 feet tall; it was shortened as part of a renovation in the 1980s. The lighthouse stands today within the Long Point Biosphere Reserve.
