Cape St. Francis Lighthouse. Photos taken May 2025.

“Cape St. Francis lighthouse marks the south entrance to Conception Bay and is managed by the Canadian Coast Guard. It was established in 1877 and the current tower was built in the 1930s. The lighthouse is accessible by a rough road from Pouch Cove; walking or 4 wheel drive are recommended. The site around the lighthouse is open to the public as a scenic hike or picnic area, but the tower is closed.” Pretty spot and wonderful sunsets. Access is overland up over hills as there is gate closure and cliff sides at site.
