About Battle Harbour Area Lighthouses Lighthouse
A round, cylindrical cast iron tower, 7 meters in height, was erected in 1905. It features horizontal black and white bands, a lantern, and a gallery. The structure's focal height reaches 38 meters. Its light characteristic is a white flash every 6 seconds (Fl W 6s), with a geographic range of 16.7 nautical miles. A solar-powered lens is installed. Public access is permitted to the site, but not the tower.
Why it matters: This navigation aid marks the northern approach to the Strait of Belle Isle, assisting vessels bound for Battle Harbour and the eastern part of Labrador.
