Worth stopping for
Cape Spear Lighthouse Museum
On the way to…
The end of the drive. OpenStreetMap maps a lighthouse on this headland as man_made=lighthouse, its light character, height and range taken from the NL List of Lights. Parks Canada's page for Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site describes the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador and the 19th century light-keeping families it interprets, and its activities page lists hiking, an interpretive trail, whale watching, bird watching and the remains of a Second World War coastal defence battery. What it costs and when the exhibit is open are on Parks Canada's own pages, linked below.
Stopping here adds about 3 min and 0.3 km to that drive (34 min door to door).
