Spurn Head

Spurn Head (48˚27'00" 123˚17'00" S side of Cadboro Bay, just N of Oak Bay and Victoria). This feature, which appears on a T N Hibben & Co map of Victoria dated 1913, is named for a narrow sandspit on the E coast of Yorkshire, England, at the mouth of the Humber estuary—the site of a lifeboat station and obsolete lighthouse. Several promontories around Cadboro Bay are named after famous British coastal landmarks.
