Cape Enrage facts for kids
Cape Enrage is a special place in New Brunswick, Canada. It's the very southern tip of an island called Barn Marsh Island. You can find it in Albert County, New Brunswick, right between the small towns of Riverside-Albert and Alma. It's also near the eastern entrance to Fundy National Park.
This island is surrounded by tall, jagged cliffs that can be over 50 meters (about 164 feet) high! A narrow tidal creek separates the island from the mainland. You can reach Cape Enrage by driving along Route 915.
Why is it called Cape Enrage?
Cape Enrage gets its name from a large underwater reef that stretches out into Chignecto Bay. When the ocean water moves quickly, especially as the tide changes, this reef makes the water around the point incredibly rough and wild. It can look quite "enraged"! This happens most when the tide is halfway in or out, and the reef is partly visible.
Cape Enrage Lighthouse
One of the most famous landmarks at Cape Enrage is its historic lighthouse. Lighthouses are important buildings that guide ships and boats safely, especially in tricky waters like those around Cape Enrage. The Cape Enrage Lighthouse has stood for many years, helping sailors avoid the dangerous reef and strong currents. It's a symbol of safety and history for the area.
