About Île Plate Lighthouse
Also known as: Île Plate (Gaspé)
A square cylindrical skeletal tower, 15 meters in height, was established on Île Plate in 1924, replacing an earlier structure from 1883. This lighthouse stands 20.5 meters above sea level and emits a white flash every 6 seconds. It features two rectangular orange daymarks for daytime identification. The station is located on a small island off Pointe Saint-Pierre, marking the southern entry to Baie de Gaspé. The site is open to the public, though the tower remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into and out of Baie de Gaspé, serving local shipping and fishing vessels.
