Beautiful spot, amazing views. The volunteers were very kind enough to tell us about the history and give a tour inside the lighthouse. Wish I clicked more pics inside, lots of history. Purchased a replica from the gift store as a souvenir. Amazing place and people. Will visit this place again for sure when I go back to Grand Manan Island.

One of the great pleasures of walking about a small maritime island is that you’re bound to come across a lighthouse or two. Grand Manan is a charming island on the Bay of Fundy that is very close to the US state of Maine. Rich with heritage trails, the island is easily accessed from the mainland by ferry. This walk takes visitors from a picture-perfect lighthouse to a rocky beach, with some dramatic sights at points in between. There is a 24.8-mile (40km) route called the Lighthouse Trail that hits several of Grand Manan’s lighthouses and other sites. But for something more leisurely, the stretch from the striking Swallowtail Lighthouse to Whale Cove features 2.4 miles (3.9km) of fantastic views, including a look at the island’s famous Hole-in-the-Wall rock formation. The path can be a bit rugged at times and will take about three hours to navigate each way.

Even though the lighthouse was all wrapped in plastic (presumably being fixed?), would still recommend. Nice little trail, cool bridge, good views, nice giftshop with a very friendly owner.

Short hike to the lighthouse with breathtaking views. Well-maintained area with many different observation points. Many birds singing half way through in the fir trees even mid October. Places to sit, enjoy the view and have a picnic. More great views from helicopter landing pad nearby.

Fantastic location where you can see the ferry come in and relax on the rocks overlooking the bay of Fundy.

A beautiful place to visit. As long as you can walk down the steep steeps, and across the narrow foot bridge you will have easy access to this very scenic location. Tours of the lighthouse are often available, and you can also climb the stairs to the top of the lighthouse. There is also a gift shop at the entrance. Parking is somewhat limited to about 10 cars. .

Beautiful views,loved reading the history of lighthouse and how it progressed over the years. Steep stairs leading down to path for access to lighthouse, reasonable $ for entry to lighthouse. Spectacular views. Gift shop has lots of nice items.

Another very special piece of Grand Manan. Spectacular, rugged area with terrific views of the Bay. The main trails are wide and well groomed and most would have little trouble navigating them. Some are quite steep and could be a challenge for some. Other trails that navigate very close to the cliffs and the water below are narrow and there are no barriers so you need to pay attention and if you have kids in tow make sure to keep them close.
