About Cape Bonavista Lighthouse
Built in 1843, the Cape Bonavista Lighthouse stands 42 meters tall. Its latticed tower is painted white with red accents and features a red and white rectangular daymark. Originally, it displayed a white light with a single flash every 10 seconds. The lighthouse ceased operations in 1962. A foghorn, emitting one blast every 30 seconds, was also part of the station.
Why it matters: Designated a provincial historic site, this structure offers insight into 19th-century lighthouse keeping.
