Quirpon Island lies on Iceberg Alley at the end of the Great Northern Peninsula Newfoundland and is the site of a lighthouse on the Strait of Belle Isle. The lighthouse is now automated and the keeper's cottage is now Quirpon Lighthouse Inn. In 2007 it was made a Recognized Federal Heritage Building. The large island is uninhabited except for the Inn, is roadless, and can only be reached by small boats in good weather, via a small dock at the end of Lighthouse Cove. It is a unique place to explore and spend a little down time after a visit to L'anse aux Meadows Viking Historic site.
