Cape Anguille (Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell)[1] is a headland and the westernmost point in Newfoundland, reaching into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.[2] It is the southern edge of St. George's Bay. Its name is derived from the French word anguille, which means eel. Close to the cape is the community of Cape Anguille.

The new lighthouse was established in Cape Anguille in 1960, replacing a predecessor from 1908. The new lighthouse is octagonal pyramidal in shape, 17.7 metres (58 feet) tall, and made of concrete.[2] The light is emitted at a focal plane of Шаблон:Convert above sea level, showing a characteristic of one white flash every five seconds.
