Cape Enniberg is a cliff at the northernmost point on the island of Viðoy, of the Faroe Islands, an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean.

At 754 m above sea level, Enniberg  considered the second highest sea cliff in Europe. Only the steep slope of Mount Hornelen on the island of Bremangerlandet in Norway is even higher at 860 m. However, since Enniberg, in contrast to Hornelen, drops almost vertically into the sea, some prefer the description as the highest vertically sloping sea cliff in Europe.
Depending on the weather, boat trips to Cape Enniberg are offered throughout the summer. It is worth seeing not only because of its impressive size, but also because of its famous bird colonies. It is one of the most important destinations for birdwatchers on the archipelago.
