Natural Wonders & Parks

Nova Scotia’s geological and natural diversity is showcased through the UNESCO World Heritage Joggins Fossil Cliffs, containing the world’s most complete Carboniferous fossil record. This selection spans the province from the Highlands of Cape Breton, featuring the 16-meter Uisge Ban Falls and Mary Ann Falls, to the Annapolis Valley’s panoramic Lookoff. The collection includes coastal provincial parks like Savary and Rushtons Beach, providing access to the Bay of Fundy’s extreme tides and the warm waters of the Northumberland Strait.
