This lighthouse is on a famous body of water. If you haven't heard of the Bay of Fundy or the Minas Basin, then simply put, it's the location of the highest tides in the world. And Burntcoat Head is one of the most scenic locations in the Minas Basin.
It has a webcam (which I think might be located on the lighthouse, actually).

And it has a lighthouse, too.
So where is this place? Right here (zoom out for even more location information)
Before the information from the Lighthouse Directory, Lighthouse Friends also has a page about this lighthouse.
Now, let's find out about the lighthouse.
"1995 replica of 1913 lighthouse. Station established 1859, inactive since the mid 1970s. Octagonal lantern and gallery centered on the roof of a square 2-story wood keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white, light tower and lantern red. ... The original lighthouse was deactivated and demolished in 1972. It was replaced by a skeletal tower, which was deactivated several years later. The replica was built in 1994 from the original blueprints."
