Cape Sable Island

Now here’s the post I have been looking forward to writing. I don’t have anything super exciting like the last story to tell, but this is probably one of the coolest lighthouses in the province that you could ever see.
I really wish I could have gotten closer, if it was better weather (not so windy or foggy), and the tides were just right I probably could have gone for a nice long walk and gotten a lot closer than I did. Then again I also had time ticking away in my head as we had other things to do (like get back and actually spend some time at the campground we were paying for).
Even from a far off distance this lighthouse looks like one BIG monster of a structure, and it should considering it is Nova Scotia’s TALLEST Lighthouse and stands 101 feet tall!!! I can only imagine getting a chance to get real close to this one, I mean I’ve been next to some pretty tall ones (like the Brier Island Lighthouse), but they would seem like nothing compared to this big guy.
I did a few google searches and found a few close up photos to share with you and they are brilliant. Please click on the photos to learn more from the photographers that took them.

There were only so many different shots and angles I could get… but I tell ya I really didn’t want to stop or leave. I’m thinking the next time I want to visit the Lighthouse route I should make some new friends with a boat and try to see them from the water….. there are so many more to see if I could’ve had the opportunity to get out there, although I’m sure I would have been a wreck just like at Baccaro Point once the fog was too thick to see through. LoL

So that’s it, this was the last Lighthouse I got to see during my adventure along the Lighthouse route. I sure hope you enjoyed getting some regular updates, ones that were ACTUALLY about Lighthouses, and hopefully I can bring you some more (at least one more), before the season is over.

Happy & Safe Travels
