Winner of the 2011 Phoenix Award—which describes the lighthouse as “one of the most beautiful places on Earth” according to the American Travel Writers Association—the Miscou Island Lighthouse is the only national historic site on the Acadian Peninsula and is definitely a must-see. This lighthouse stands guard over the untamed beauty of Miscou Island, and guided tours of this magnificent structure are offered 7 days a week throughout the summer. Explore the windswept sandy beaches while watching birds and other animals as you stroll through the many natural peat bogs.
