Cape Forchu Lighthouse


 Cape Forchu Lighthouse - A light like no other!


The only Apple Shaped lighthouse in Nova Scotia that you can climb. We took a walk around the Leif Erikson Park, passing the impressive whale skeleton display, interesting rock formations and stunning ocean views. 


Meet "Foggy" the only 50' whale skeleton on display at the park.  The carcass found in 2006 was transported piece by piece back to the lighthouse by a local fisherman after receiving permission by the Department of Fisheries.  


  • After wearing Billy Rascoe's shoes for several weeks, I thought I was big enough to handle this chair.  Maybe not!

Standing at the lookout deck reading about each light keeper. 


The flag displays.  Left "The Municipality of Yarmouth", Center top, "Canada", Right, Flag of "Nova Scotia". 

The fun didn't stop there, we decided to come back another evening for the stunning sunset. 


We were not disappointed. 


An awesome view before setting.
