Cape Finniss (also spelt Cape Finnis) is a headland located at the southern extremity of Anxious Bay on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) Northwest by west of the town of Elliston. It is described as being ‘a rocky headland with a rounded top, 47 metres (154 ft) high.’ Cape Finniss is linked by a submerged reef which is considered to be ‘remnants of a once more prominent Cape Finnis(s)’ to the Waldegrave Islands which are located to the cape’s north west.[1][2][3][4]
