Point Amour Lighthouse Provincial Historic Site
L'Anse Amour Road, off Highway 510, 10 minutes north of Forteau on the Straits of Belle Isle, Newfoundland and Labrador. How to get here.
What can I do here?
- Climb the 128 steps to the top of the lighthouse tower - the second tallest in Canada. Bring your binoculars to get a better view of icebergs and whales.
- Talk to interpreters about life on the Straits of Labrador and the story of the lighthouse.
- Hike the coastal trail - about 30 minutes out to the wreck of the HMS Raleigh. A great trail for wildflowers and fossils. Continue along the shore towards a sandy beach and pause at the grave for a 12-year-old boy buried 7,500 years ago - the oldest burial mound in North America.
