MINUTES AWAY! Situated only a few minutes away from our cottage in the town of Louisbourg. Follow the sign to the lighthouse once you arrive in the town of Louisbourg. This is a great stop on the way to or from the Fortress of Louisbourg. On your way back, stop at the delicious family own and operated Spoondrift Cafè & Gift Shop for an amazing lunch or supper right in Louisbourg.

***If you have the time to get out to louisbourg, you won't be dissapointed. The light house walk is by far our favorite as a family. If you make a day of it, there is the Fortress of Louisbourg, and a hike there as well, that you can't miss as it is right next to the road that takes you in. Past the fortress is a popular local beach, Kenington Cove, Known for its beauty and its waves, (and sometimes wasps)! If you venture to louisbourg, make sure to stop at the big red bus for their home made fries and burgers, again a favourite of ours!! Please check the times of the Fortress and Big Red Bus before you go, as things change often when you run on island time. Kennington cove has even been known to be closed, so check before you go!***

The lighthouse is a nice place to take pictures and look across to the Fortress. As part of the Fortress of Louisbourg reconstruction, this 55 foot tall lighthouse was completed in 1933. It sits on the site of Canada’s first lighthouse and the second in North America. Portions of the original lighthouse foundation, built by the French in 1734, are still visible. The site also features hiking trails that provide stunning views of the area, complete with interpretive panels highlighting the region’s history and surrounding natural wonders.

Enjoy an iconic coastal hiking experience at the Lighthouse Trail, located across the harbour from the Fortress of Louisbourg. Known for its spectacular crashing waves and unsurpassed ocean vistas, this trail is not to be missed. Capture an authentic East Coast moment in front of the Louisbourg Lighthouse, located at the trailhead. Families can explore the gentle, 2-kilometre (1.3-mile) looped trail, watching for shorebirds and fishing boats sailing into the harbour. Experienced hikers can follow the rugged shoreline beyond, where the Coastal Connections Trail Association continues to develop the trail. Contributions made in the donation box at the trailhead directly support the Coastal Connections Trail Association in their efforts to continue the development of the trail. Donation boxes are also located throughout the community of Louisbourg. To access the trail year-round, follow the "Lighthouse" signs along Havenside Road. The iconic lighthouse is on the site of the first lighthouse in Canada (1734). Interpretive panels share the history of this pivotal spot and highlight the rare plant life and coastal ecology of the area. Travelling with a beloved pet? Dogs on leash are permitted on the Old Town Trail, the Lighthouse Trail, and at Kennington Cove Beach. Thank you for cleaning up after your pet. Pick up droppings and place them in appropriate refuse containers. For your comfort and safety: - Do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals. - Take along appropriate clothing – rapid weather changes often occur along the coast. - Carry water with you. - Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer. - Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for public safety and protection of the environment. - Stay on boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation. - Do not throw food or scraps along the trails or roads. - Read "Keep it Wild, Keep it Safe" brochure, available on the Parks Canada website.
