Review:
Pointe Riche Lighthouse is located on the Port au Choix Peninsula, an arm of land that juts out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The land has a rich history which includes being home to Indians as well as English, Basque and French explorers.
One of the main attractions on the peninsula is the octagon-shaped Pointe Riche Lighthouse. Constructed entirely out of wood, the lighthouse has stood above the Gulf of St. Lawrence since 1872. It first belonged to the French who occupied the Newfoundland area but ownership was transferred to the Canadian Government in 1904. It is one of the many lighthouses along Canada's eastern coast.
