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.
