Cape Forchu is home to the Yarmouth Light station, one of the most
scenic lighthouses in Nova Scotia. The Light (as it is locally
known) rises 23 meters above the ground, and its two-million
candlepower beam can be seen over 30 nautical miles out to sea. It
is located at the end of a 12 km stretch of road through fishing
villages along the coast. Bring your camera and set aside some time,
as there are many opportunities for vacation memories.
