Cape Tormentine is a rural community and former local service district in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada. It is located on the Northumberland Strait at the Abegweit Passage, the shortest crossing between Prince Edward Island and the mainland. It once flourished as a transportation hub between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island but has been in decline since 1997 when the ferry service was closed due to the opening of the Confederation Bridge.[3] At the Canada 2011 Census the population was 108, three quarters what it was at the 2006 census.
Cape Tormentine is named for the eponymous cape. For the purpose of Statistics Canada's census it is in Botsford Parish.
