Cape Forchu, located in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, was named by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1604. It's a key navigation point at the entrance to Yarmouth Harbour. The first lighthouse was built in 1840, and the iconic "apple-core" concrete tower we see today was completed in 1962. The site was transferred to municipal control in 2000 and is now a popular visitor attraction with a museum and ocean-side trails.
