Stand where Canada's first lighthouse once guided ships, and feel the raw power of the Atlantic. Just a short drive from the main fortress, you'll find this iconic beacon with its stunning coastal views. Take the easy, accessible 2km loop trail that hugs the shoreline for incredible photo opportunities, or if you're up for more, continue onto the rugged coastal trail for a true Cape Breton adventure. The path starts right from the parking area, making it easy to begin your exploration of this historic and beautiful site.
