About Île de Caraquet Lighthouse
Also known as: Île de Caraquet (Caraquet Island)
The Île de Caraquet Lighthouse is a square pyramidal skeletal tower constructed of steel and painted white. Built in the 1950s, it stands 20 meters tall with its light positioned 22 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 4 seconds, visible for 13.6 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. This structure is located on the western end of Île de Caraquet, an island that shelters the approach to the town of Caraquet.
Why it matters: This light marks the western end of Île de Caraquet, which acts as a natural breakwater, ensuring safe passage for vessels entering Caraquet Bay and its port.
