Located in the Bay of Fundy is the Swallowtail Lighthouse, the first lighthouse built on Grand Manan Island. The Swallowtail Lighthouse is still used to help navigate those travelling through the bay but is also recognized as one of the main attractions on Grand Manan Island.

The Swallowtail Lighthouse is not only a beautiful sight to see but also provides a fantastic view of the bay. The goal of this lighthouse is to ensure that they preserve the significant history attached to it. The guides serve to educate all visitors about the history of this lighthouse and its surrounding environment. There is also a lovely picnic area next to the lighthouse so that you can end your visit with a picnic on the beach.
