A nicely drawn bird eye view projection map showing you the points of interest at Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site.
The historic site preserves the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador, which is located at the most easterly point of land in North America. The lighthouse has been restored to its 1839 appearance and shows how a lightkeeper and his family might have lived in the mid-19th century. The Visitor Centre contains exhibits on the history of lighthouses and the tradition of lightkeeping. The site is surrounded by spectacular scenery and wildlife such as whales, seabirds and icebergs in season. There are also some interesting WWII bunkers and cannons on site.
