Ferryland Head Lighthouse
A red-and-white lighthouse at the tip of the headland, about a 2 km walk away, where you can enjoy a picnic basket on the grass.
The lighthouse was built in 1871 at the tip of the Ferryland headland, about a 30-minute walk from the parking spot across grassland and sea cliffs. In summer, the very popular Lighthouse Picnics let you rent a blanket and picnic basket and sit on the cliffs watching whales and icebergs. Reservations must be made in advance. Winds are strong and waves are rough, so take care near the cliff edges.
Opening hours
Open all day (picnic season approx. June–Sep)
