Description:
The Grants Beach Front Range Light was originally located near the main road but when it was purchased in 1972 by the current land owner one of the requirements was that it be moved to a less visible location. It was therefore moved closer to the riverbank near a beautiful 1825 heritage house and a number of trees were planted around the property. Today the lighthouse sits in a parklike setting where it has been maintained in reasonably good condition. Unfortunately, it is no longer easliy visible from the road, but at the right spot it can still be viewed and photographed from a distance. Location: Located on the north shore of the Miramichi River, just east of Lower Newcastle.
