Discover … the Fundy Shore & Annapolis Valley

When it comes to exploring Nova Scotia’s Fundy Shore and Annapolis Valley, we let nature run its course. Along the Fundy shoreline and over the fields of the Valley, the beauty and strength of nature is virtually everywhere you look. It’s a billion tons of water moving in and out of the Bay of Fundy. It’s 300-million-year-old fossils at Joggins Fossil Cliffs. It’s in the shared tales of Nova Scotia’s first people, the Mi’kmaq. In the Fundy Shore & Annapolis Valley, nature knows no boundaries.
