To find Cape D'Or letterbox take Rte 209 from Parrsboro along the shore road to  East Advocate. Turn onto Cape D'Or road, a gravel road , and proceed for about 3 miles, following signs. When at the end of the road park in the lot for visitors that is at the top of the Cape, and take the trail that begins at the front of the lighthouse/ visitor center at the edge of the parking lot. This is not the true lighthouse. The working lighthouse is located at the  foot of a steep hill closer to waters edge.  Follow the gravel trail around the headland of the Cape, crossing three  small wooden footbridges. The letterbox is 22 feet from the third bridge, beneath a leaning spruce tree eight feet from the path.  Have Fun !
