Where Nature, History and Scenic Splendor Collide
Immerse yourself in the North Cape Experience. As you journey along North Cape Coastal Drive, you will encounter rolling green fields, red sandstone cliffs, and breathtaking ocean vistas leading to North America’s longest natural rock reef. At low tide, walk out onto the exposed reef where the Gulf of St. Lawrence meets the Northumberland Strait.
Witness the meeting of the waters as the tide rises to cover the reef. The historic lighthouse warns lobster boats of dangers below. Explore the shoreline and the Black Marsh Nature Trail with interpretive signage about natural history and local folklore. Spot rare plants and local wildlife, including seals basking in the sun.
Get your spirits lifted by wind
