Cape Split, Peninsula and cape in Kings County, Canada
Cape Split is a peninsula and headland that extends 7 kilometers into the Bay of Fundy with high cliffs on both sides overlooking strong tidal currents. The site features a network of marked walking trails through coastal forests leading to several viewing points.
The land was originally privately owned before the Nova Scotia provincial government acquired it and established a protected provincial park on the site. This action preserved the 427-hectare area for public access and conservation.
The walking paths guide visitors through forests where they can observe the native coastal plants and spot seals and seabirds in their natural setting.
The park operates seasonally from May to October with facilities at the parking area, making it accessible for day visits during warmer months. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the marked trails can be steep and muddy in places.
The cliffs rise over 60 meters above the water, offering one of the best spots to witness the extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy in action. The tidal range here is among the highest anywhere on Earth.
