About Cap d'Espoir Lighthouse
The Cap d'Espoir lighthouse, built in 1939, is an octagonal concrete tower painted white with a red lantern. Standing 14 meters tall, its light reaches a focal height of 25.5 meters and emits four white flashes every 30 seconds, visible for 14.4 nautical miles. This structure guides mariners at the broad entrance to Baie des Chaleurs. The lighthouse was refurbished and repainted in late 2008. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the northern side of the entrance to Baie des Chaleurs, guiding vessels navigating this important coastal area.
