Cape Anguille

Cape Anguille

The Headland of Cape Anguille is near the community of Cape Anguille (where the community takes its name) of the west coast of the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the most western point of land on the island of Newfoundland.

A new lighthouse was established on the cape in 1960, replacing a predecessor from 1908. It is octagonal pyramidal in shape and built in concrete. The light is emitted at a focal plane of 35 metres above sea level, showing a characteristic of one white flash every five seconds. A signal blast fog signal may be sounded.
