About Port Daniel Ouest Lighthouse
A white, octagonal concrete tower stands 10 meters tall, with its lantern painted red. This lighthouse was first lit in 1918, replacing an earlier wooden structure that burned down between 1915 and 1916. The focal height of the light is 20 meters above sea level, casting a white flash every five seconds. It is situated on a sharp promontory near the former Chaleur Chalets resort, accessible via Route de la Pointe. In 2016, the Canadian Coast Guard sought restoration bids for the lighthouse. The current structure is 10 meters high.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks a sharp promontory, guiding vessels navigating the waters around Port Daniel.
