Cape Enrage Lighthouse: A Beacon of Adventure

Cape Enrage, aptly named for the turbulent waters churning around its dangerous reef, has been a beacon for mariners since 1838. The original lighthouse, completed in 1840, was a crucial navigational aid in the upper Bay of Fundy. Today, the site is home to a square lighthouse built in 1904, distinguishing itself as the first of its kind in the province.Standing 46 meters (150 ft) above the bay, Cape Enrage offers panoramic views of the dramatic coastline and the world's highest tides. Visitors can explore the historic lighthouse, learn about its rich history, and witness the power of the Bay of Fundy's tides.Beyond its historical significance, Cape Enrage is an adventure destination. Thrill-seekers can experience the adrenaline rush of rappelling down the cliffs or soaring across a 183-meter (600 ft) zipline. For a more relaxed experience, explore the fossil-rich beach or enjoy a meal with a view at the Cape House Restaurant. The site also features a gallery showcasing local art and crafts.Driven by a group of dedicated high school students and their teacher, Cape Enrage has been transformed from a neglected light station into a vibrant tourist destination. Their efforts have not only preserved a piece of New Brunswick's history but have also created a unique and memorable experience for visitors.
