Grand Manan, New Brunswick E5G 2A2

Perched majestically on the rugged cliffs of Grand Manan, New Brunswick, the Swallowtail Lighthouse stands as a stoic witness to the island's maritime history. Dating back to the 19th century, this historical beacon has guided countless ships safely through the treacherous waters of the Bay of Fundy, earning its place as a beloved landmark among locals and visitors alike.

With its iconic red and white stripes cutting a striking figure against the Atlantic backdrop, Swallowtail Lighthouse is not just a structure but a living testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the seafaring community. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the bay and imagine the brave keepers who tended to the light, weathering storms and solitude to ensure the safety of all who sailed these waters. A visit to Swallowtail Lighthouse is a journey back in time, a chance to connect with the maritime heritage that defines this picturesque corner of Canada.
