Cape Corrientes, cape on the Pacific Ocean, southwestern Jalisco state, west central Mexico. The headland, rising to an elevation of 505 ft (154 m) above sea level, is formed by the western extremity of the Sierra del Cuale, in the southern portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental. A lighthouse stands on the cape, signalling the entrance to Bahía (bay) de Banderas, just to the north.
