Cap Malheureux is part of the Rivière du Rempart District.
It is found in the northern tip of the island.
This name is derived from the unfortunate sinking of the Saint Géran ship
that was unable to navigate pass that cape in 1744.
The first mention on a map, go back to that of the Abbé de la Caille in 1753.
Cap Malheureux is one of the few promontory named Cap.
