September Spotlight

NOVA SCOTIA SPOTLIGHT

Sambro Island Lighthouse

Sambro Island Lighthouse, was erected in 1758, making it the oldest operating lighthouse in the Americas. In its time it has seen a wide variety of people sail by, including soldiers, refugees and, of course, fishermen. As its primary function is to aid sailors, it is not easily accessible to the average Haligonian. However, if you are so inclined, you can opt to take boat charters or even helicopter tours out to the island, where you can see the lighthosue for yourself.
