There is plenty to shoot before you walk over to the light, so if you get there before the water recedes to walk across it's not a problem. It's better to be early that late in other words.. Drive back to the point maybe 3 hours before low tide and you should have a short wait and at most a 3 or 4 hour window to walk over and back.. If you plan to go all the way to the light boots and a walking stick for balance will be helpful as the rocks that were just under water are slick, very slick..
Don't forget to look up as there are Eagles living in the area!
Sue and I have stayed at the Owen House the last three times we have been to Campobello Island.. Joyce Morrell who is a terrific artist owns the Owen House and is the driving force behind all of the restoration going on at East Quoddy..
Owen House Website If you have the time it would be worth your while to visit the Owen House..
You will drive right by the Roosevelt cottage, which is probably not open this time of year but worth seeing..
Campobello Island Official Website This is my favorite lighthouse to visit. I have been 5 times and I hope to see it at least one more time. I think part of the reason is that it is at the end of the earth and the trip to and from the Island is awesome, also!!
Don't speed on the Island, you get to use the other numbers on your speedometer, you are in Canada!!
Campobello Island is in the
Atlantic Time Zone..
