Description From Owner:

The Micmac called the place Wuktaamook, and the meaning of the word is unknown. It is first found on an 1809 land petition as Jeauriman and later Jourimain.
Some historians believe the name derived from a German settler and was corrupted from 'German,' but it is more likely to have been a French settler.
The name applies to the island and to a nearby cape and is locally pronounced 'jer-mayn.'
Here there is Cape Jourimain Nature Centre, with interpretation centre, wildlife observation tower, scenic dunes, beaches, lookouts, a Provincial Visitor Information Centre and 17 km of hiking trails across 640 hectares.
Within the nature centre is Cape Jourimain Lighthouse, a 16 m (51 -foot) white octagonal heritage structure with a unique embellishment around the top deck. The lighthouse was established in 1870 and refurbished in 1983.
