Lighthouse

The Lighthouse of the Club Penguin Island is a lighthouse located at the Beach, on the south west of the Club Penguin island. Once you enter, you will see the stage area. On the top of your screen, there is a flight of stairs leading to the Beacon. On the walls are pictures of maps, penguins, the Lighthouse, the Beach, Fluffy the Fish, and Rockhopper, the pirate penguin. Go up these stairs and your penguin will enter the second story of the Lighthouse, the Beacon. A shortcut for entering the Beacon is by clicking on the "To Top" sign near the top left corner of the screen.

History
Before the Lighthouse opened in September 2006, according to many sources such as the Penguin Times, penguins of Club Penguin managed to raise enough money to open the Lighthouse through the fund in The Penguin Times. This was called the Lighthouse Donation. Players who donated the set amount of 750 coins received a red and white striped shirt. The Lighthouse was opened in September 2006, it opened with a 3-day party. The free item was the Sailor's Cap.



The night before it opened, workers worked for quite a few hours to fit in the light. The Penguin Band played to celebrate. Many moons before, the Lighthouse was just an empty room, but now, penguins have filled it up with Rockhopper's pictures and many various items, such as a steering wheel. You can have access to the Beacon by climbing up the stairs or just clicking on the 'TO TOP' sign. The Lighthouse is the tallest building in Club Penguin.

In July 2010, there was an update to the Lighthouse, as it was given a Music Catalog from the Music Jam Parties. Since then, it is updated rarely with new musical instruments.

Parties
