Cape Forchu is home to the Yarmouth Lightstation, 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.

Stanley Lobster: a lobster storage operation that will show you how to store and cook lobsters.
John’s Cove/Yarmouth “Bar:” a working wharf that is full of boats, fisherman and photo spots. Feel free to explore and take your picture by the stacks of lobster traps sitting on the side of the road.
Yarmouth Lighthouse: onsite services include a museum, tea room, walking trails, picnic area and a shop.
