    If you are staying in Governor's Harbour, start at the main intersection near the beach. Head southeast on Queen's Highway (the main road) for about 5 miles until you reach the intersection with the road leading to Lighthouse Beach. This road is unmarked but will be on your left. Continue straight on this road for approximately 2.5 miles, and you will arrive at the Lighthouse Beach parking area. The beach is a short walk from the parking area.

  • Biking

    For those who prefer biking, you can rent a bike in Governor's Harbour. Start by heading southeast on Queen's Highway for about 5 miles. Look for the road to your left leading to Lighthouse Beach. It is a dirt road; proceed carefully as it can be bumpy. The bike ride should take around 30 minutes. Once you reach the parking area at Lighthouse Beach, lock your bike and walk to the beach entrance which is just a short distance away.
