Baccaro Point Lighthouse — Attraction in East Baccaro

I think we need to build a walking/biking path around the marsh there because it's beautiful but most people just drive to the lighthouse, idle their vehicle, and leave without even getting out. Get out and feel the sea spray on your face! Feel the waves! Look off both shores, it looks different to the left and the right. Come for the sunsets, they're remarkable.

This is a worthwhile 20 km side trip from the Lighthouse Route. Coming from the north-east, navigate to it from Clyde River. From the west, navigate from Barrington. Then, to return, navigate to the other one.

It was the site of a LORAN station. A secret system which helped our ships navigate during WWII. (Check it on Wikipedia.) After the war there was also a "Pine Tree Line" station to warn the US of incoming Russian bombers. (Again: Wikipedia.) That site is now a...

The fog starts coming in when we arrive; I visited this lighthouse numerous times because hardly anybody comes here. Great for a picnic while listening to the ocean waves! Watch for dog poop, I stepped in next to the picnic table. I wish individuals would pick up after their pets. There are garbage bins and toilet potties...
