Editorial
Hotel overview
Set along the rugged eastern coast of Quebec, Phare de Pointe-des-Monts offers a distinctive inn experience close to a historic lighthouse. This bed and breakfast appeals to visitors seeking both oceanic vistas and cultural insight enveloped in the maritime heritage of the region.
Beyond the warm welcome from the kind staff, guests can explore informative self-guided tours detailing the life of lighthouse keepers and regional history. Panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River and opportunities for whale watching enrich each stay, while nearby campgrounds provide alternative lodging options for nature lovers.
The site’s layout invites exploration beyond the lighthouse itself, with a short video presentation on the island covering key stories and artifacts. While the lighthouse closes at 5 pm, the surrounding landscape and off-the-beaten-path charm make the visit rewarding for travelers prepared to plan their arrival timing.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“It was closed when we arrived. The view was phenomenal. There are camp sites available, but it wasn't clear how to pay or register for the night. It is worth the the trip there to see.”
“Informative presentation and nice way to learn about the history of this and other lighthouses established along the St Lawrence River and gulf coast. Not certain if their audio and video presentations are available in English (or other languages.)”
“Beautiful site, friendly staff, excellent self guide tour and views from the top!”
“A stop along the way. You have to play to go to the lighthouse.”
“Beautiful and well kept lighthouse and grounds! Worth the short detour off the main road. (Watch out for hidden bumps)”
“Unfortunately we didn't get to explore inside the lighthouse as it closes at 5pm. The lady inside told us that once on the island, there is a 22 minutes video explaining the story behind it and then you can explore the lighthouse and climb to the top while looking at pictures and objects from its history. The rest of the island is also cute to explore. The entry is 12$. There is also campgrounds around but I don't know how they work!”
