Swallowtail Lighthouse

A unique place, for­mally the res­i­dence for the two light­house keep­ers fam­i­lies, now restored and a won­der­fully pic­turesque Bed and Break­fast offer­ing beau­ti­ful ocean views from each room.

Your jour­ney begins with a short drive from the ferry wharf, up a wind­ing nar­row road that leads to your home away from home. 54 stairs, across a wooden foot­bridge and then up a 1000′ path brings you to our small, cozy Inn where you will expe­ri­ence the life of a Light­house Keeper.

Swallowtail LighthouseWe offer 6 guest rooms, all with a spec­tac­u­lar ocean view. You over­look one of only a hand­ful of remain­ing wooden light­houses in Canada. Take note of the rock for­ma­tions and watch the whales and birds. Swal­low­tail Light­house is one of the most pho­tographed light­houses in Canada and a fab­u­lous spot to watch the sunrise.

Indulge your­self — come and stay with us! We offer a non-smoking envi­ron­ment, a full home­cooked break­fast in our spa­cious break­fast room with each night’s lodg­ing, satel­lite TV and pos­i­tively, the great­est view you will ever expe­ri­ence! One thing we would like to men­tion is that even though we do try to accom­mo­date fam­i­lies, the ter­rain, although beau­ti­ful, is rocky and so is really not suited for small children.
