Long Point Lighthouse
Long Point Lighthouse (Crow Head)
A lighthouse built in 1876 on a cliff about 100 m above the sea. It is the best place on land to watch icebergs and whales.
Long Point Lighthouse stands at Crow Head, at the tip of North Twillingate Island. It was completed in 1876 on a cliff about 100 m high, overlooking Notre Dame Bay and the Atlantic. In late spring, icebergs drifting down from Greenland pass close by, and they can be viewed up close from the cliff top. In summer, humpback whales are often seen. A small interpretive centre beside the lighthouse is open in summer and charges a small admission. A footpath leads to the cliff edge. There are no railings at the edge, so take care.
