About Cape Bonavista Lighthouse
The lighthouse at Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland, was completed and first lit in 1843. For nearly 120 years, it served mariners with a white light that flashed once every 10 seconds. The tower stands 51 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 17 nautical miles. Constructed in 1843, the light ceased operations in 1962. The structure has since been preserved as a provincial historic site.
Why it matters: Designated a provincial historic site, the lighthouse offers an exhibition about life in a lighthouse during the 1870s.
