Fodor's Expert Review The Lighthouse on Cape d'Or

Cape d'Or, Nova Scotia, B0M 1A0, Canada

Before automation, two lighthouse keepers manned the light on rocky Cape d'Or, and their cottages have been transformed into a small inn with unparalleled views of the Minas Basin. Guest rooms are basic, but there's a welcoming common area with a breakfast bar, books, games, and a small refrigerator, and there's an excellent restaurant on-site. Although getting here is challenging, the wild beauty repays your effort.
