The Cape Bonavista Lighthouse is located about 6km north of town on the rugged point that marks land's end.
Built in 1843, the lighthouse was essentially a stone tower. The lightkeeper and his assistant both lived there.In the year 1870 it is re-constructed. You can clamber up narrow stairs to the light and inspect the ingenious clockwork mechanism that kept six lanterns revolving all night. Also it is a great spot for seeing whales, icebergs, and puffins.
The lighthouse is open daily from mid-May through early October from 10:30am to 5:30pm; admission is C$3 per adult, free for children 12 and under.
