About Cap à l'Est Lighthouse
Built in 1909, the Cap à l'Est lighthouse is an 8-meter tall, white cylindrical concrete tower topped with a red lantern room. Its light is positioned 17 meters above sea level, producing a single white flash every six seconds. This structure is located on a cape on the north bank of the Saguenay Fjord, approximately 5.2 kilometers by sea from Grande Anse. The site around the lighthouse is accessible to visitors, but the tower is not open for internal access. Most visitors arrive by watercraft.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a cape and provides a reference point for ships entering or transiting the Saguenay Fjord.
