Attractions & Suggestions (all within 30 minutes)
Sightseeing
One of Nova Scotia’s most famous hiking trails (13 km/8 mile round-trip). Drive about 15 minutes past the Look-off, just past Scots Bay. Cape Split is a fishhook shaped peninsula sticking out into the Bay of Fundy. It is only accessible by boat or the hiking trail. It is one of the most phenomenal landscapes on the East Coast. The trail is somewhat hilly and muddy in the beginning, so don’t be discouraged. The trail starts at sea level and ends about 300′ above the rocky shoreline in an open grassy field. This is a perfect place to enjoy a picnic with a view. Sheer cliffs on each side provide a panoramic view of the Bay of Fundy and a great place to watch the nesting birds below.

The wharf at Hall’s Harbour is a fantastic place to see the tides while you feast on lobster. At high tide the fishing boats freely come in and out of the pier as the water is near the top of the wharf. At low tide the boats are high and dry resting on their bellies. You can also explore the floor of the Bay of Fundy at low tide.
The Cornwallis River flows through Port Williams and the pier in the middle of the village is a great place to see the tide difference. The river is brimming at high tide and just a trickle at low tide. You can also explore the dykes that run from Port Williams to Wolfville.

Beaches
Red sedimentary cliffs carved by continuous erosion rise from the beaches to the east. The dramatic 12 metre tides produce very large sand and mud flats at low tide. One of the warmest places to swim at high tide. A good place to find beached treasures at low tide. Ice cream is available all day!

Sand and mud flats at low tide. Walk out and enjoy a free mud treatment for your toes! Really cold swimming and rocky beach at high tide. The beach is a gold mine for rock hounds and is wonderful for a picnic with a beach fire.

This beach is only known to the locals. Situated under the red cliffs of Cape Blomidon, the beach is located at the base of red cliffs and is usually very quiet. You can explore the mud flats at low-mid tide and breathe in the Ocean air while witnessing the most spectacular views and birds of the Minas Basin.

Breathtaking views, waterfalls and volcanic Sea Stacks are buried under water. However when tide is down you can walk amongst the ancient stacks. Baxters Harbour is a former fishing community on the shore of the Bay of Fundy. It was named for Dr. William Baxter and his son John Baxter who lived there in the early nineteenth century. It is believed that fishing started there about 1780.
