Twillingate: Long Point Lighthouse and Twillingate Islands

Located in Crow Head, Twillingate, the Long Point Lighthouse has stood tall on the forbidding coastline since 1876, keeping sailors and ships safe for over a century. The Long Point Centre hosts a number of interesting exhibitions, including one about the Titanic, and a walk along the coastal paths is a must. If you’re lucky, you may even get a tour of the lighthouse.

Our visit was spent outdoors admiring the views, which included the largest iceberg sheet we’d seen on the trip, walking along the many paths, and chatting with a friendly photographer who had some serious gear.
