Day 4 -Cape d'Or and Cape Chignecto


What an awesome day we had today enjoying the beautiful seascapes!  Our first stop was at Cape D’Or where we hiked down a very steep trail to where a lighthouse and B&B are located.  The weather was perfect…..about 73 degrees and bright sun.  Cape d’Or has the distinction of being the only place in the world where 3 tides converge, meeting simultaneously to create violent riptides……a phenomenon known as the Dory Rips.

We also visited Cape Chignecto Provincial Park.  First we walked down to Red Rock Beach.  After a very long drive down a bumpy dirt road we arrived at Eatonville Day-use area of the park.  We hiked along a trail with some beautiful overlooks.
