These emblematic maritime structures bear witness to the history of navigation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. There are six lighthouses on the territory of the Magdalen Islands, and several of them are easily accessible, including those on Île d’Entrée and Anse-à-la-Cabane. Each of these beacons has its own story to tell and is part of the heritage of its respective village. More than just physical structures, these lighthouses are symbols that are a part of the collective imagination.
