Cape Bear is located on the south eastern tip of Prince Edward Island.
The coast consists of generally rugged red sandstone cliffs and small secluded beaches.
Its high banks offer a good location for viewing seals.

The first Canadian land station to hear the SOS of the Titanic as she
sank in 1912 was the Marconi station at Cape Bear.

The station is no longer there, but the Cape Bear Lighthouse
is still there and has been in existence since 1881.

During the Second World War, the lighthouse proved useful
for spotting German U-boats that neared the coast.
 

Several were seen along the shore, but disappeared while being
tracked. They probably vanished into the deep trench which
runs between the Magdalen Islands and
Prince Edward Island.

Visit Wood Islands Lighthouse and discover the legend of the Phantom sail ship
