Canada Cape Spear Lighthouse
Cape Spear is the easternmost point of North America. With a historic and an active lighthouse and World War II defenses, it is an important historical place for Canadians.
Among the the best here is the surf, which gives a grandiose performance.
This is the new, modern lighthouse, which was built in 1955 and is still in operation.
The old and new lighthouses stand right next to each other, with the new one having taken over the function of the old one.

Photography Tips
The place is famous for being where people go to watch the first rays of sunlight hit the North American mainland. It can get quite crowded on weekends. You should have your equipment set up well before sunrise.
You might also spot whales or dolphins from there. So be sure to have a telephoto lens ready to go.
