About

Cape Norman is a barren, limestone headland located at the northernmost point of insular Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

First constructed in 1871, it’s a concrete tower that stands nearly 50 feet. The shores are wind-swept rocks with trails traversing the terrain. This is the furthest north travelers can step on the island.
