Race Rocks Light

Race Rocks Light is one of the first two lighthouses that were built on the west coast of Canada, financed by the British Government and illuminated in 1860. It is the only lighthouse on that coast built of rock — granite purportedly quarried in Scotland and topped with sandstone quarried on Gabriol

a Island. The islets of Race Rocks are located just off the southern tip of Vancouver Island, about 17 km (10 mi) southwest of Victoria, British Columbia.
