East Quoddy Lighthouse
Locally known as Head Harbour Light, the East Quoddy Lighthouse stands as it had for many years looking out over the trecherous waters of the Bay Of Fundy. Although now automated, it once housed the Light Keeper and his family. Accessible only 1 1/2 hours before and 1 hour after low tide, it presented a challenge to all of the occupants and visitors alike. Today it remains a welcome site, or sound depending on the fog, to fishermen returning to port. |

Each
year it attracts thousands of curious visitors. Many take the time to venture across at low tide, up and down steel ladders, over the jagged rocks and slippery sea weed, to get a close look at what remains one of the most photographed Lighthouse in the world. |

It
is also a popular vantage point for Whale Watching . The tremendous tidesof the Bay Of Fundy churn and swirl at it'srocky base. Through the Fundy Fog or the early morning mist, Head Harbour Light sounds out a warning, and a welcoming to all. More History on Lighthouse ( Click Here ) or Lighthouse Button |
