The first was a small beacon built on Fort George at the end of the 19th century, but it has been inactive since 2017. The second was installed at Pointe Saline in 1904. After being decommissioned in the 1980s, the 18-foot lighthouse was moved to the airport for ornamentation. Today, Prickly Point Lighthouse is the only active navigation aid.
