Pointe des Monts Lighthouse Québec

This circa-1830 lighthouse, one of Québec's oldest, has lorded over dozens of shipwrecks, despite its function. Sitting on a picturesque spit of land, it has been converted into a museum explaining the lives of the keepers and their families. Next to the lighthouse, you can stay overnight in one of the four rooms in the former lighthouse-keeper's quarters for $125, including breakfast.
