Scene was shot The Cape Forchu Lighthouse is located in Cape Forchu, Nova Scotia. The lighthouse is located 11 km from Yarmouth.
The lighthouse was constructed in 1839 and was operational in 1840. The original station was demolished in 1961 and replaced in 1962 with the "apple core" - a concrete tower. Since 2000, the original fresnel lens used at the lighthouse is located at the Yarmouth County Museum.
The 19 acres of ground the lighthouse is on is open to the public from May to September. The light keepers house is a Heritage property that is open during this time and has information about the history of the light the area and those in the area. There is also the option of a guided tour.
Production designer Craig Lathrop and his team created a 70-foot-tall lighthouse tower, the lighthouse keepers' quarters, the long breezeway connecting the two, and several outbuildings on the peninsula, Lathrop told Architecture + Design.
