General presentation
Cap Split et baie de Fundy
Basaltic caps, pebbles beaches and spectacular tides dominate the north shore of the Annapolis Valley.
Cape Split, Blomidon Provincial Park and Burntcoat Head Park provide the most telling landmarks of Cape Split and Bay of Fundy. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, mountain reliefs and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Place indismissible
Cape Split
Cape Split head into the Bay of Fundy as a blade of cliffs and forest, with a path leading to the meadows of the promontory. At the finish, the detached rocks, the powerful and vast current of the Minas basin give a very physical impression of the tides.
Nature and scenery
Blomidon Provincial Park
Blomidon Provincial Park The Minas basin is dominated by red cliffs, with paths alternating forest, gazebos and descents to the shore. At low tide, the muds stretch very far; at high tide, the water returns against the walls and completely transforms the scenery.
Nature and scenery
Burntcoat Head Park
Burntcoat Head Park is one of the best places to see the amplitude of the tides of Fundy with the naked eye. At low tide, the sea bottom becomes a walking ground between red cliffs, ponds and carved rocks; a few hours later, the water covers everything.
Nature and scenery
Five Islands Provincial Park
Five Islands Provincial Park faces five rocky islands that emerge from the Minas Basin, with red cliffs, pebbles beaches and coastal forests. The landscape changes sharply with the tide, making the views and walks on the shore very different depending on the hour.
