About Cap au Saumon Lighthouse
Also known as: Cap au Saumon (Pointe des Rochers)
The Cap au Saumon lighthouse, built in 1894, is an octagonal pyramidal tower standing 14 meters tall. It is painted white with red trim, and its lantern room is also red. The light emits a white flash every 15 seconds, with a geographic range of 14.3 nautical miles. The station also includes a keeper's house and other buildings. In 2003, the site was leased to Peter Noreau and the Corporation du Phare de Cap-au-Saumon for restoration purposes, though the Canadian Coast Guard remains the owner.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for guiding vessels navigating the waters around Cap au Saumon, a cape south of Saint-Siméon. Private restoration efforts highlight its cultural value as a heritage destination.
