Located on the Cumberland Basin, just off the Bay of Fundy, this World Heritage Site is definitely worth a visit!

Since the early 19th century, this area has been known for its fossils, but not fossils of animals. The fossils at this location of mainly of ferns, prehistoric trees and early marine life. These fossils are from a rainforest that existed over 300 million years ago!

We started our visit in the museum, which had some fascinating displays and lots of information about the region. We then took the tour, which has to be during low tide, or else the beach isn’t accessible. We saw coal seams, bones, carbonized plants and other fossils. It was also a great place to enjoy the red rock cliffs and the clouds were absolutely gorgeous.

What a fantastic place to visit! We had lunch and then went back down the staircase to take shots of the beach after the tides came in. We were so happy that we found this place and had such spectacular weather to enjoy it.

After enjoying the cliffs, we made our way to Cape Chignecto Provincial Park – another fantastic spot to visit!
