Tadoussac, Quebec, Canada

While primarily known for marine wildlife, Tadoussac’s waters host another treasure that resides 1.3 miles off the coast: the Prince Shoal Lighthouse. In 1860, a prized British ship carrying Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, ran aground on an uncharted shoal. The shoal was named in his honor, and since the accident, has seen a number of lighthouse iterations before construction on the current Prince Shoal Lighthouse began in 1956. This unique lighthouse has served the area ever since, steering incoming boats away from dangerous waters.
