Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse

The Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse, located in Gaspésie, is a 34 metre high stone light-tower, perched atop rugged cliffs and is the tallest lighthouse in Canada. The exposed point of land is at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River where it enters the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. Built between 1853 and 1858, the lighthouse has never since stopped to guide ships navigating these treacherous waters.
