Moving to the next lighthouse in our series, this post is about the Cape Enragé light. It's historic, and it also happens to be directly south of Moncton on the coast of the Bay of Fundy, which means it must have a large tidal range.
The location of this lighthouse is right here.
Information about this lighthouse, from the Lighthouse Directory:
"1870 (station established 1838). Active; focal plane 38 m (125 ft); green flash every 6 s. 9 m (29 ft) square pyramidal wood tower with lantern and gallery, painted white with red trim; lantern is red. Fog horn (three 2 s blasts every 60 s). 2-story wood keeper's house restored, beginning in 1993, by students from Harrison Trimble High School in Moncton. ... The light station now houses the Cape Enragé Adventure Centre, which offers a variety of activities. ... This is now the northernmost light on the Bay of Fundy's west coast."

The pictures are below. The lighthouse is on a bluff above some daunting cliffs.
