The best camping near Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

Stark white Cape Spear Lighthouse pierces a sky swirling with seabirds atop a craggy headland. It overlooks a vast expanse of indigo ocean where glittering processions of icebergs glide by, Humpback whales breach and pods of porpoises send misty spouts into the Atlantic air. On Canada’s easternmost point of land, historic Cape Spear Lighthouse, the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador, offers a glimpse into the lives of 19th century lighthouse keepers and their families.

When to go

The best time to visit Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site is from June 1 to October 6, when the site is fully operational and the weather is most accommodating for outdoor activities. Outside of these months, the grounds remain open, but services may be limited, and the harsh Atlantic weather can pose challenges.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly on the Atlantic coast.
  • Be aware of the site's hours of operation, from 8:30am to 5pm during the peak season for full access to tours and programs.
  • Remember that admission is free for youth, making it an excellent destination for family outings.
  • For safety, adhere to guidelines provided for wildlife encounters and coastal exploration.
  • Accessibility may vary across different areas of the site, so plan accordingly if you have mobility concerns.
