2019 8 9 Must Sea & Do Must Sea Come Visit a Light & Do Like No Other
Welcome to Cape Forchu, a Light Like No Other. This spectacular “apple core” lighthouse is the second most photographed lighthouse in Nova Scotia and located just 10 minutes outside the Town of Yarmouth. The Cape has been welcoming visitors since 1604, when explorer Samuel de Champlain named the area “Cap Fourchu,” meaning “forked tongue of land.” Towering over the jagged coastline since 1839, the Cape Forchu Light welcomes people to the region and beckons them to shore. With crashing waves and sprawling skies, it’s no wonder Cape Forchu was voted one of the best public spaces in Canada. When visiting be sure to browse the gift shop located inside the former light keeper’s dwelling. Take a walk along the Leif Erikson Park & Trail and explore the rugged landscape while taking in breathtaking views, stunning sunsets and spectacular stargazing.
