West Cape is a headland located on the west coast of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia about 14 kilometres (8.7 miles) west of the town of Marion Bay. It is the most westerly point of Yorke Peninsula. The headland is part of Innes National Park while the waters adjoining its shoreline are within the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park. Since 1980, it has been the site of a navigation aid in the form of a lighthouse.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
