About Baie Salmon Range Front Lighthouse

The Baie Salmon Range Front lighthouse is a 15.5-meter tall cylindrical steel tower, painted orange with a black vertical stripe. It stands on a square cylindrical skeletal structure topped with a trapezoidal orange daymark, also bearing a black vertical stripe. At a focal height of 20 meters, it emits an isophase green light that flashes every 2 seconds. This navigational aid is located near the north end of Baie Salmon, guiding vessels into the bay and towards a landing that serves the village of Bonne-Esperance. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.

Why it matters: This range front light is indispensable for vessels navigating the Baie Salmon, providing the precise alignment needed to safely approach the landing at Bonne-Esperance. Its distinctive green isophase light, visible only on the range line, prevents groundings and ensures efficient access to this remote village.
