Louisbourg LightHouse

The original lighthouse was erected in 1734 by the French. It was the first lighthouse in Canada and the second in North America. The lighthouse standing today and pictured here was build in 1923. It is a popular lookoff point and in 2008 became the start of a coastal walking trail. Interpretive plaques mark the ruins of the previous lighthouses.

    A very pretty lighthouse, so nice it is built of wood. Did the lighthouse keeper lived in it as well. Here they always did

    Not a coast to enter without one.

    Oo! Beautiful! Love that blue sky. I'm still looking at mostly overcast skies at the beach today.

    What a grand panorama this is. Old lighthouse, too! I'll bet you got a bunch of good photos wandering about this area.

    Very fine lighthouse photo. From the top of that lighthouse one can see all the way to the edge of the earth.
