Cape Campbell (Māori: Te Rae-o-te-kōhaka)[1][2] is in Marlborough, New Zealand, on the northeastern coast of the South Island.
Cape Campbell lies close to the salt works at Lake Grassmere / Kapara Te Hau.
(The two easternmost points are West Head (it is the western shore of the opening to Tory Channel / Kura Te Au - the opposing shore being on Arapaoa Island), and Cape Jackson (between the entrances to Queen Charlotte Sound and Port Gore), both at a longitude of 174o19' east.)
[3] The cape was chosen as the location for a lighthouse following several wrecks in the area, including that of the Alexander in 1858 in which one person drowned.
The first lighthouse on the cape was lit in 1870, however the construction was soon found to be faulty and a replacement was built in 1905.
