The third in the series of lighthouses in the Canadian province of New Brunswick is Pea Point Lighthouse. This one is also on the Bay of Fundy, but considerably further southwest than Cape Enrage. In fact, it's not very far from the U.S. - Canada border, which is also the state of Maine. See where that is on this map. The lighthouse is on an island right next to the Connors Brothers Nature Preserve at Pea Point.
The Lighthouse Directory tells us more about it.
"1965 (station established 1878). Active; focal plane 17 m (56 ft); continuous white light. 10 m (34 ft) square cylindrical concrete tower with lantern and gallery, rising from one corner of a 1-story concrete fog signal building. Fog horn (two 3 s blasts every 60 s). ... Located on a small island near the Grand Manan Island ferry terminal near Black's Harbour. Although it is possible to walk to the lighthouse at low tide, treacherous footing and rapidly changing tides make this hazardous."
