It's that time of year again, Fall is officially upon us, everyone here is busy with being back in their daily routines of school and work. Our free time is harder to come by for travels not to mention it's starting to get cold so adventure season is coming to an end, but not before getting one last Lighthouse visit in.
This Lighthouse is one I've been trying to get to for a few years, I have been to many lighthouses along the shore in either direction of this one and it has always driven me crazy that this one was in the middle of it all and I had not yet been to it. Well, now I can FINALLY be at ease and cross this one off the list and keep moving further along the shore.
Without further ado, here is the Margaretsville Lighthouse. Located in the outskirts of Middleton, this lighthouse sits at the end of a windy road on the rocky shore. There is no real parking, so just at the end of the road is where you'd have to leave your vehicle. There looks to be a little picnic area, however, to get over to the lighthouse you would have to walk through someones yard, which for me I don't care much for so I did not go right over to the lighthouse during this visit. For the most part, it just looks like summer homes and cottages, so it may be a little more quiet later in the season or in the beginning.
This lighthouse is somewhat special as it is the only Black & White Lighthouse in Nova Scotia. It does make it look way different than any other which in itself makes it desirable to take the time to go see.
It was raining during our visit so we didn't stay long, but there is a wharf off to the right, and quite a few waterfalls off the rocky shore ledge, not sure how many of those still fall when it's not raining, but it is still a picturesque spot.
As usual, if you would like to learn more about the Margaretsville lighthouse you may find it on
Lighthouse Friends. Until next time........
Happy & Safe Travels
