Point Amour Lighthouse |
|
 |
This tallest lighthouse in Atlantic Canada is still a
functioning lightstation. Climb the 109 foot tower -
only the last two flights are ladders!
See the
wonderful view and sometimes, even icebergs and whales.
Tour the former
lightkeeper’s dwelling with its restored rooms and its
displays on lighthouse technology, shipwrecks and the people
of the Labrador Straits.
Meet the
interpreters in period costumes who will guide you through the
story of the lighthouse and other compelling chapters in the
history of this part of southern Labrador.
