Cliffs of Fundy Geopark
The Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark is located along the north shore of the Minas Basin of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, stretching from Lower Truro in the east to Apple River in the west, a distance of 165 km. Four Seasons Retreat is right in the middle of the Global Geopark. Most of our geosites can be accessed by NS highways 2 and 209 as they meander along this awesome coastline.
The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world, and they have helped to shape our landscape. Visit the amazing cliffs, tidal estuaries, beaches, waterfalls, trails, and lighthouses.
