Cape Pine: From the ENL, comes the following description of this cape: Located at the entrance to Trepassey Bay, the Cape at 46° 37' latitude 53° 32' longitude shares with nearby Cape Freels (46° 37' latitude 53° 34' longitude) the distinction of being the southernmost marine promontory in Newfoundland.

The nomenclature is somewhat paradoxical and was noted by M.F. Howley (1909) as being inconsistent with the lack of vegetation and general barrenness of the headland.

The Newfoundland Yearbook and Almanac for 1930 reports the existence of an early light station on the Cape in 1821.
