Set out from Red Bay on the scenic coastal highway, passing through beautiful seaside villages.
You'll pass the Pinware River and take in the spectacular view.
Continue to the focal point of your tour — Point Amour. At 109 feet from the ground to the light itself, Point Amour lighthouse is the tallest in Atlantic Canada and is also the second-tallest lighthouse ever built in this country. It is still a working lighthouse but is now automated. The lighthouse tower and its surrounding buildings constitute a Provincial Historic Site. The residential part, now renovated and partially restored to the 1850s period look, houses an extensive series of exhibits portraying the evolution of lighthouse technology and the maritime history of the Labrador Straits. A panoramic view of the surrounding land and sea is your reward for climbing the 128 steps to the top.
L'Anse Amour's National Historic Site of Canada is the oldest-known burial mound in North America. It is part of one of the largest and longest-used Aboriginal habitation sites in Labrador, dating back some 7,500 years.
