| Cape John is a promontory of land near
River John surrounded by the waters of Amet Sound and the
Northumberland Strait. It is a good spot to watch the sun go
down and to admire our beautiful summer sunsets. There is a
fishing wharf at the end of the road where you can watch the
lobster boats unload their catch. |

- On maps from the early eighteenth
century, it is named Cap Jean.
- The first pioneers to settle here were
from the Isle of Lewis.
- Seaview Trotting Track opened here in
1921 but closed in the thirties.

Cape John is best reached from the village
of River John. From the Sunrise Trail, head north at the cross
roads by the gas station. There are some great views of Amet
sound on the drive to the Cape.
There is limited space to park near the
wharf, but please remember that this is a working wharf and be
careful not to block access. |
