West Point is a cape and an unincorporated community located in the southwestern corner of Prince Edward Island, Canada. ''West Point Lighthouse'', a square tapered tower, was built in 1875 by the federal Department of Marine. The West Point Lighthouse Inn, Museum and Restaurant was established in 1984. The West Point Development Corporation, a non-profit organization, maintains the lighthouse as a navigational aid beacon, although the living quarters of the lighthouse are now used as a unique country inn and museum. 〔http://www.museevirtuel-virtualmuseum.ca/Search.do?R=VE_1314&lang=en&ex=on West Point Lighthouse Museum - A New Life for an Old Light (O'Leary, Prince Edward Island).〕 This lighthouse was first lit on May 21, 1876. Cedar Dunes Provincial Park is located at West Point and provides a supervised public beach for swimming. Contrary to popular belief, West Point is not the westernmost extreme point of Prince Edward Island; that honour falls with West Cape, several kilometres to the north and slightly west. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Point, Prince Edward Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
