Swallowtail Lighthouse is what you first see when coming to Grand Manan island, but your adventure starts with a short 90 minute ferry ride from Blacks Harbour. Grand Manan is located off the coast of New Brunswick and Maine, on the Bay of Fundy. The Ferry runs every 2 hours in the summer season and every 4 hours during the off season. Ferry reservations can be made at www.coastaltransport.ca or by calling (506) 662-3724. Please note that you must arrive 45 minutes prior to your reservation or your spot will not be held.

Once you depart the ferry turn right onto Pettes Cove Road, then turn left on the Old Airport Road, and then right onto Lighthouse Road. From the ferry terminal it takes about 3 minutes to drive or 13 minutes to walk to our parking area and gift shop.
