Cape Mudge Lighthouse

A short ferry ride from Campbell River lands you on Quadra Island, where Lighthouse Road leads down to the water's edge. Here, the Cape Mudge Lighthouse operates as an active navigational aid for ships entering Discovery Passage from the Strait of Georgia. The site features a classic red-and-white concrete tower alongside keeper dwellings.

While the tower itself remains closed to the public, the surrounding area provides clear sightlines of passing cruise ships, tugboats, and marine wildlife. The shoreline below the station features strong tidal currents and dense kelp beds. People often walk along the adjacent rocky beach to watch marine traffic navigate the narrow channel.
