Bear River Lighthouse was constructed to help guide vessels through rough waters. Still an important local landmark today, it's sure to have some stories to tell about sailing adventures and tragedies.
This longstanding beacon is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Smiths Cove. But Bear River Lighthouse isn't the only drawcard in the area. Digby Pines Golf Resort, Smith's Cove Beach, and Bear River First Nation Heritage & Cultural Centre are some other worthwhile sights close by.
