Constructed in the form of a cross, the tallest wooden church in North America features a magnificent steeple soaring 190 feet in height.

The largest wooden structure in the world, this stunning church soars 190 feet tall and expresses the devotion of the local Acadian community (French-speaking people who inhabited eastern Canada & the U.S. since 1604). The lofty interior vault, stained-glass windows and statuary are beautiful. Visit the history sections to learn how the local populace, fishers and hunters of modest means, helped build and operate this beautiful church that is now in sad repair inside. Well worth a visit.

A replica of the Church Point Lighthouse (Le Phare d'la Pointe) has been rebuilt and will open to the public on Monday, June 26, 2017. It functions year-round as a research centre for the Université Sainte-Anne Biology Department. During the tourist season it will be open as an interpretive centre. Bilingual panels and displays will tell the story of the former lighthouse, Le Petit Bois trails and tides. There will be a Marine Biology room and a Vistas room, as well as an outdoor observation deck on the third floor with panoramic views of St. Mary's Bay (la Baie Sainte-Marie). Visit our website for hours of operation and when self-guided and guided tours are available. Guided tours will also involve walks on the beach including sample gathering, animal and plant identification followed by sample analysis in our miniature lab.

The lighthouse at Cape St. Mary has served as a navigational beacon for generations of local fishers and residents. In 2017, the Municipality of Clare took possession of the Cape Saint Mary Lighthouse and property, following a divestiture process with the federal government. Work began in July 2017 with the repainting of the tower, replacement of the roof, and replacement of the vinyl siding with cedar shingles. Along the cliff side of the property, the chain-link fence has been replaced with nautical-style post and rope. New amenities include: gravel parking lot, welcome sign, picnic shelter accessible for wheelchairs, viewing scope, interpretive panels explaining history of the lighthouse, local marine ecology, and even the fog. The park's centrepiece is a monument commemorating those lost to the sea in the Municipality of Clare. Local sculptor Marc Graff was commissioned to carve the granite mariner that sits on top of the memorial. Outdoor portable toilets onsite.

Not far from Maviellette Beach is the lovely Cape Saint Mary Lighthouse site. It has a large parking area and is accessible by wheelchair. The cliffs here are something to be seen, but heed the warning signs. There is also a memorial to mariners. In addition, the drive back offers stunning views of Maviellette Beach.
