The third week in July is Fish, Fun and Folk Festival Week in Twillingate.
Long Point Lighthouse
Photo Opportunity
Long Point Lighthouse, one of the most photographed landmarks on the Northeast Coast of Newfoundland, is located at Crow Head, Twillingate. More than 300 feet above sea level, this is a lookout point where thousands of visitors every year enjoy the panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean with the possibility of viewing icebergs, whales, seals and sea birds.
Operational Year-round
Once operated by several full-time lighthouse keepers, it guided ships safely on foggy and stormy nights. Today, the lighthouse is still operational but is now operated by only one lighthouse keeper year-round.
Visit Long Point Centre where exhibits tell the stories of the culture and history of the people of Twillingate.
Start of Long Point Hiking Trail
On a blustery or foggy day, be sure to zip up, but on brighter days, stroll along the groomed trails around the lighthouse or for the more adventurous, hike the cliff trails to Sleepy Cove.
