About Baie de la Tabatière Outer Range Front Lighthouse
The Baie de la Tabatière Outer Range Front light was established in 1973, with the current square pyramidal skeletal tower built the same year to replace an earlier structure from 1950. Standing 30.5 meters tall, its focal plane is 50 meters above sea level. The tower carries a rectangular orange daymark featuring a black vertical stripe. It emits a continuous green light, visible along the precise range line, offering a geographic range of 18.7 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on a steep bluff approximately 800 meters north of La Tabatière village in Gros-Mécatina, Quebec.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for safe passage into Baie de la Tabatière, particularly for fishing vessels and supply ships navigating the intricate coastal waters of the Lower North Shore.
