Green's Point Lighthouse (previously termed Mascabin Point Lighthouse[2] and or L'etete Passage Light[3]) is situated in L'etete on the Atlantic coast at the opening to Back Bay, New Brunswick, Canada.[4][5][6]
Established in 1879, and altered in 1903, the lighthouse was automated in 1996 and ownership was transferred to Green's Point Light Station in 2008.[7] It has an interpretative centre, and rents out the attached cottage to tourists to finance the upkeep of the historic site.[8][9] Thousands of tourists visit the lighthouse annually.[10] The lighthouse property has a museum, aquarium and salmon aquaculture site.[11] The Canadian Coast Guard maintains a helipad station at Green's Point for search and rescue, as well as servicing lights, foghorns and Channel 14 VHF.[12]
In the summer of 1986, benthic algae research stations were set up across the region including at Green's Point.[13]
It is a popular site for high school and university studies.[14] In 2023, the Huntsman Marine Science Centre released the Dive Deeper website with detailed 3D and panoramic views diving around the Passamaquoddy Bay, including Green's Point.[15][16]
