Guest Testimonials

What a beautiful week. Hot and sunny! We had a great time here at Francis Louis House. It was instantly relaxing. What a beach! Timing is everything. Here comes hurricane Earl. We'd love to ride it out here but we have to leave. We will definitely return to the south shore.

Castaway Ocean Lodge is a delightful out of the way cabin in the middle of the woods on the ocean. Haven't been able to relax like that in a long while.

 The cottage is a lovely place ,so peaceful , so close to beaches , such a beautiful view. It has everything inside that you will need from batteries, candles, saran wrap, beach towels, first aid kit, movies, kids toys (story books), bug spray and soooo much more. It was so great to have two bathrooms and washer/dryer. One of the other great things is the outdoor shower came in so handy with the Grandchildren (they loved it). A all around great place !!!

WOW - What a scenic log cabin - we could have stayed here all week, but we enjoyed the lighthouse tours - so many wonderful villages with a different offerings.  The hot tub at Castaway Ocean Lodge was most enjoyable as well as the outdoor fire pit.  We did roast marshmallows - felt like we were at camp again.

A little lighthouse for little people

Description

The leisurely country drive to the Lightstation takes you through magnificent ocean side scenery and coastal communities to experience a part of Nova Scotia that is seacoast, fog, beaches, fishing vessels, working fishing villages and shanties, unpredictable water and tides and breathtaking sunsets.

The Cape Forchu lighthouse is located on a headland at the south western tip of Nova Scotia, is the light for the town of Yarmouth and its harbour. The structure rests 37.5 meters (125 ft.) above sea level, is nestled into jagged rocks and offers a breath-taking natural vista.

In 2012, Cape Forchu Lighthouse was voted the best public space in Canada(!) in a competition held by the Canadian Institute of Planners.




Location

Perched on an outcrop of volcanic rocks, Cape Forchu Lighthouse is at the mouth of Yarmouth Harbour approximately 10 minutes from the Town of Yarmouth.
