Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start your journey by heading towards the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1). Depending on your starting point in the Maritimes, you may need to take different routes to connect to this highway. Once on Route 1, continue heading west until you reach the exit for Route 430 toward Deer Lake and Gros Morne National Park. Follow Route 430 north for approximately 40 km (about 30 minutes). As you approach Rocky Harbour, keep an eye out for signs directing you to Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse, which will be located on Main Street North in Rocky Harbour. The lighthouse is approximately 3 km from the town center. Parking is available near the lighthouse for visitors.

Public Transportation

For those relying on public transportation, take a bus from major cities in the Maritimes (like St. John's or Corner Brook) to Rocky Harbour. Check the schedules for the Newfoundland and Labrador public transit services, as they may have seasonal routes. Once in Rocky Harbour, you can either walk to the lighthouse (approximately a 30-minute walk from the bus stop) or arrange for a local taxi service to take you directly to Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse. Be sure to check in advance for taxi availability, as they may have limited service at certain times.
