- TennisStar602New Jersey611 contributionsPeggy’s Cove Lighthouse was absolutely gorgeous! It was nice to take pictures in front of the lighthouse; entry into the lighthouse was not permitted. There was plenty of free parking and there was a restaurant with a gift shop. There were also public bathrooms. The houses in this vicinity were truly breathtaking. The Atlantic Ocean was extremely rough, and individuals should use extreme caution when they walk along the rocks next to the lighthouse. It was very easy to slip and fall, and it could be dangerous to end up in the cold and choppy water of the Atlantic Ocean.Written November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David B4 contributionsThis is a must see for a few
Good reasons.
First, the historic happenings here are astounding. I never heard anything regarding the goings on here during WW 2.

Second, the ocean waves crashing along the rugged coast line is fantastic. You haven’t seen waves till you’ve seen them here.
The only drawback was the parks Canada bathrooms and cafe were closed. Unbelievable!Written October 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Caribby96Burnaby, Canada231 contributionsCape Bonavista is a beautiful lighthouse. We enjoyed the tour of the lighthouse, and getting to see the light at the top. The gift shop was also fun to visit. There were a lot of whales when we went, so plan to spend a while here to relax and enjoy the sights.
Make sure you bring lots of water. There was nowhere to buy water or fill up water bottles when we went, and it was a hot day.Written July 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The original wooden lighthouse tower was built in 1906 but was destroyed in bad weather in 1914. The current standing concrete lighthouse was opened in March 1915 to guide ships through the treacherous waters off the coast of Vancouver Island. The lighthouse is a 22-metre tall concrete tower that is painted red and white it's shape comes from having to withstand strong winds. The lighthouse is still operational today and is a popular tourist destination. It had lighthouse keepers from 1915 until 1988 when it was automated.
The Amphitrite Point Lighthouse is located at the end of a 2.6-kilometre loop trail. The trail is easy to walk and is suitable for all ages. The trail winds through the forest and offers stunning views of the ocean. There are several interpretive signs along the trail that tell the story of the lighthouse and the area.
The Amphitrite Point Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage is located near the lighthouse. The cottage was built in 1910, and was home to the lighthouse keeper and his family. The cottage is now a museum that is open to the public. The museum exhibits tell the story of the lighthouse and the lives of the lighthouse keepers.
Visiting the Amphitrite Point Lighthouse;
The Amphitrite Point Lighthouse is open to the public from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, seven days a week. There is a small admission fee to enter the lighthouse keeper's cottage museum. The lighthouse is a popular destination for tourists, so it is best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid crowds.
Overall, the Amphitrite Point Lighthouse is a beautiful and historic landmark that is worth visiting. The lighthouse offers stunning views of the ocean and the trail is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. The lighthouse keeper's cottage museum is also a great place to learn about the history of the lighthouse and the lives of the lighthouse keepers.Written November 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carol WFalmouth, Maine, United States52 contributionsBest view is from the shore to the left of the parking lot. And access to the island is down and up exciting metal stairs that are submerged at high tide that can rise 5' per hour! Really beautiful view. And take your bug spray.

- Sonia FMilford, NJ274 contributionsWe visited this place at sunset and early morning. While I didn't go inside, I enjoyed walking the scenic and easy trails around it.

- CmpcgaBarriere68 contributionsWe hadn’t heard of this fort until it showed up in the list of things to do in Victoria. Spent a few hours there wandering the fort. It was reasonably priced, the weather was perfect and we learned so much about our country’s preparation for war and readiness. Would recommend. There is a lot of walking if that matters to you.Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- That GuyMount Brydges, Canada209 contributionsThis one requires a bit of a hike and a walk across a gorge on a walking bridge. The hike is part of the experience. The lighthouse is presently under construction with scaffolding all around it. But the visit is still worth it.Written July 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anika RToronto, Canada158 contributionsVery beautiful. Unfortunately I didn’t know the museum was open public. I thought it was just for guests at the inn.

- KelvinDunedin, New Zealand574 contributionsThere is plenty to see and do here, and the little water taxis made getting around the entire area as easy as. We spent a half day here and could have done more. There are a plethora of really nice eateries and some really interesting house boat arrangements on one of the wharves. Great place to explore.Written June 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anthony SBrisbane, Australia1,856 contributionsThe lighthouse is now disused but still a bit of an icon, located on the headland at the entrance to the bay. There are cliffs adjacent with a dramatic coastline to the north. Also the start of the Lighthouse Trail which would be a pleasant walk if you are so inclined.Written September 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
