Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse

Reviewed By Lets_Cruise_13 - Ottawa, Canada

On Friday August 16th, 2019, my wife and I continued from the Village of Rocky Harbour following Main Street up to Lobster Cove Head and the Bonne Bay Lighthouse, NFLD. On arrival, there is ample parking space in the visitor parking lot. From there, we proceeded to the red and white Lighthouse that once served to guide fishermen and to keep shipping traffic safe in the waters of Bonne Bay. Inside the lighthouse, you can examine renovated exhibits that highlighted the people and the heritage of the area. Some present audio recordings of folks’ songs, historical photos, and old lightkeepers logbooks. While in the kitchen, we met friendly Parks Canada Guides that were knitting and chatting along. Outside the lighthouse we noticed many walking trails paths that lead to photos spots. Many visitors were enjoying themselves picnicking while others were walking along the rocky shores. It is said that this Bonne Bay Lighthouse is known as the perfect spot to enjoy sunsets or even to spot whales. If you are visiting this western part of NFLD and the surrounding areas of Gros Morne National Park, Lobster Cove Head is a must to see as it provides for magnificent viewpoints for taking photos. We would recommend it to family and friends.

Point Riche Lighthouse

Reviewed By realbigbear - Great Falls, United States

Point Richie Lighthouse is worth a quick stop if you are traveling in Newfoundland's northern peninsula. The views are wonderful,and the rocky beach is worth exploring.. This is a good location to spot caribou since a small herd often is seen on the beach.

Cape Bonavista Lighthouse

Reviewed By VacationingCanadians

Park your vehicle, and just start walking - in any direction - you will be so very amazed at the breath taking views from these rocks/cliffs. We drove up to the lighthouse early in the day to enjoy our morning coffee, and it was hard to describe how it felt to sit at the top of the cliff and watch the whales in the ocean, with the gentle ocean breeze on our faces, feeling like we were at the top of the world, with the most amazing view..... it was priceless....

Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site

Reviewed By T4232XIjohnb - Toronto, Canada

Cape Spear is as far east as you can go in North America and the lighthouse stands as a sentinel protecting ships from the dangerous rocky shores. Do walk up to the lighthouse to get the best views and even if the day is a foggy/cloudy one you will get a great experience with the fog horn blowing in the background.

Short drive from the center of town, plenty of parking and good viewing platforms to view the coastline. Great ice cream spot inside the lighthouse too!
