Worth stopping for

Cape Ray Lighthouse

On the way to…

  1. YDF → Port aux Basques →

    The light on the island's southwest corner, where the Cabot Strait begins — mapped at the end of Cape Ray Road with a Maritime Link information board alongside and J.T. Cheeseman's beach between it and town. The Table Mountains stand behind; the ferry you may be catching passes in front.

    Stopping here adds about 18 min and 18.6 km to that drive (3h 28m door to door).

Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.

What the map knows

Mapped as lighthouse in OpenStreetMap.

While you're stopped here: J.T. Cheeseman Provincial Park (3.9 km away) · Wreckhouse (9.9 km away) · Codroy Valley Provincial Park (23.7 km away)

The map last touched this element on 2019-10-15 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.

All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.

Where this pin comes from: OpenStreetMap node/1345117197 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
