The easternmost point of North America is Cape Spear, located just outside St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. This windswept coastal site is the first place to see the sunrise on the continent - a fitting symbol of Canada’s place on the world stage.

Cape Spear is home to Canada’s oldest surviving lighthouse, perched on cliffs that overlook the powerful Atlantic Ocean. It's more than just a scenic landmark; it holds deep historical significance and captures the rugged spirit of Canada’s east coast.

This location is often featured in Canadian Citizenship Test geography questions, so if you're studying for the test, remember Cape Spear - a place where natural beauty and national identity meet. Knowing it could give you an edge as you prepare for your exam.
