点评:A favourite spot to come back to on the Island. The bird cliffs are spectacular even with no nesting species at this time of year. Go in May for the maximum bird experience.
The amazing cliffs are super scenic, with sea caves! Could hear seals calling from within the caves :0
The lighthouse is a bit worn, adding to its historic presence. It looked like the top of the lighthouse is now gone! That was a shock to see!
Maybe the top blew off in last year’s hurricane Fiona??
I would like more info. on the recent history and maintenance of the lighthouse. There is a sign board there that tells the older history.
The road was completely fine for any type of car IF you turn onto a paved road first (River Road in French river which is a right turn off Hwy 20). Follow River Road to Cape Road. Turn left onto Cape Road (which is also paved in that section). Follow Cape Road to the unmarked lighthouse road which is to the right at the end of the pavement, and less than half a km long.
We did not know about the paved road to get most of the way, so we turned right directly onto Cape road (clearly signed) further along on Hwy 20. This section of Cape Road is unpaved and has some narrow, rutted sections. We did not want to test our rental car so parked at the start of Cape Road, and walked about 1.4 km to the lighthouse. Then back again to our car. We got some exercise doing it that way :)
翻译:岛上最喜欢回来的地方。即使在每年的这个时候没有筑巢物种,鸟类悬崖也很壮观。五月前往,享受最大程度的观鸟体验。
令人惊叹的悬崖风景超级优美,还有海蚀洞!可以听到海豹从洞穴内呼唤:0
灯塔有点破旧,增添了它的历史气息。看起来灯塔的顶部现在已经消失了!看到这真是令人震惊!
也许顶部在去年的飓风菲奥娜中被吹掉了?
我想要更多信息。关于灯塔的近期历史和维护。那里有一个标牌,讲述着古老的历史。
如果您先转入铺好的道路(法国河中的河路,在 20 号高速公路右转),那么这条路对于任何类型的汽车来说都是完全没问题的。沿河路 (River Road) 行驶至海角路 (Cape Road)。左转到开普路(该路段也有铺砌路段)。沿着海角路 (Cape Road) 前往人行道尽头右侧未标记的灯塔路,长度不到半公里。
我们不知道大部分路段的路面情况如何,因此我们直接右转进入开普路(路标清晰),继续沿 20 号高速公路行驶。开普路的这一段路段未铺砌,有一些狭窄且有车辙的路段。我们不想测试租来的车,所以把车停在海角路的起点,步行约 1.4 公里到达灯塔。然后又回到我们的车上。我们这样做了一些练习:)
