Micou's Island, Tidal island in Glen Haven, Nova Scotia, Canada.

A 22-acre island connected to the mainland by a sandbar, featuring rocky shorelines and diverse coastal vegetation along St. Margarets Bay.

The island was initially used as a summer camping ground by Mi'kmaq people, as evidenced by discovered arrowheads and shell middens.

Two shell middens on the island represent centuries of Mi'kmaq shellfish harvesting traditions and indicate preferred gathering locations.

Access to the island is possible during a 5-hour window around low tide, with 2.5 hours available before and after the lowest point.

The Strong Arm, a sugar maple tree over 185 years old, stands as a central point for visitors until its main stem fell in 2021.
