Cape Pembroke is an uninhabited headland at the northeastern tip of Coats Island in northern Hudson Bay within the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, Canada.
The habitat is characterized by a small, elevated outcrop of Precambrian gneiss and rocky uplands rising to an elevation of 215 m (705 ft) above sea level.[2] It is 3 km2 (1.2 sq mi) in size.
The cape is a Canadian Important Bird Area (#NU005) and a Key Migratory Bird Habitat Site.
Notable bird species include thick-billed murre, black guillemots, peregrine falcon, glaucous gull,[3] and common eider.[4]
Walrus frequent the area.[4]
Welsh Royal Navy officer, Sir Thomas Button, in 1612 was the first European to visit the cape.[5]
