One more favourite...
Cape Spear just outside St. John's. "Most Easterly Point in North America" (not counting Greenland because who does?).

It's another Portuguese name.
Cabo Esperanca, meaning Cape of Hope. When the French conquered St. John's and burned English/Irish settlements all along the Avalon Peninsula, it was translated to Cap d'Espoir, French for the same thing - Cape of Hope.
When the English conquered it back, it just slowly bastardized over the centuries to Cape Spear.
And another... Carbonear, on the opposite side of Conception Bay from St. John's.

It's just a bastardized version of the original Portuguese name, Cabo Carvoeiro.
