Cape Race Lighthouse is a historically significant and picturesque spot, just a short ten-minute drive from Mistaken Point. Known for receiving the Titanic's distress call in 1912, visiting this lighthouse offers a deep dive into maritime history accompanied by stunning ocean views.

If you’re planning a trip to Mistaken Point to explore its renowned fossil beds, I highly recommend adding Cape Race to your itinerary. Not only is it a site of immense historical interest, but it’s also an ideal spot for a relaxing picnic. Given the lack of nearby food options, packing a picnic is a practical and enjoyable choice. We enjoyed our packed lunch there before heading out on our afternoon tour, and it was perfect for taking in the surroundings without the rush.
