Standing where the St. Lawrence River stretches endlessly toward the horizon, the Pointe-des-Monts Lighthouse has watched over the Côte-Nord shoreline for nearly two centuries. Located near the village of Baie-Trinité, this historic landmark has become a fascinating stop for travellers eager to experience one of Québec’s most iconic coastal sites.
Today the lighthouse welcomes visitors as an interpretation site dedicated to the maritime heritage of the region. Through engaging exhibits, guests can learn about the lives of lighthouse keepers, the challenges sailors once faced navigating the St. Lawrence, and the evolution of navigation technology over time.
Climbing the lighthouse is part of the adventure. At the top, the viewing gallery opens onto sweeping views of the river, rugged shoreline and endless sky. During certain seasons, attentive visitors may even spot whales or other marine wildlife passing through the waters offshore.
Blending maritime history, dramatic scenery and the quiet atmosphere of the coast, the Pointe-des-Monts Lighthouse offers travellers a memorable glimpse into Québec’s seafaring past
