Swallowtail Lighthouse, New Brunswick, Canada
5.0 (276 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Grand Manan Lighthouses
Unmatched beauty!
We walked the trail and went up into the lighthouse. The grounds are beautiful to check out and contain lots of historical information for reading. The walk up and around the lighthouse are free as well as the parking but to enter the lighthouse itself costs $5 with proceeds going to the maintenance of the buildings. We had a nice sunny day so this was worth the fee and we climbed up to the top for an amazing view. Back in the parking lot there is a small gift shop. It's also worth nothing the park is dog friendly, like most places on grand manan. Definitely worth the stop!!

Beautiful way to start the day
I hiked from my campsite to the lighthouse my first morning on the island. The views were amazing. It was so peaceful and serene. It was foggy the other two mornings but my partner went with me the next time and we sat and watched the fog roll over the island. It was very cool. Highly recommend this lighthouse and make sure to stop at the gift shop to support the upkeep and find some unique souvenirs.

Well preserved, and even better represented.
The lighthouse and view are amazing. so much history in one little building. The lovely lady in charge was wonderful to talk to, directed me to the museum to get a great book on ship wrecks I have since devoured. GO, and see the piece of history.
