Loved the travel down at low tide. Did find out easiest to go left. Climb down & up is easier, ground is more solid. Right side had slick mud - causing a fall. Mud facials are great, but not on shirts. Will be back

When in Nova Scotia, a couple of residents were quick to point out that New Brunswick had their Hopewell Rocks, but Nova Scotia had their own claim to the Bay of Fundy tides - and the highest tides ever recorded were at Burntcoat Head (like 60 feet).....and there was no charge to visit. We headed out for this out-of-the-way location and on our approach a few miles out, we saw the red clay bottom of the Bay of Fundy at low tide laid out in front of us. Absolutely amazing view!When we got there, it was very unassuming, and very friendly. There is a lighthouse reproduction, and a walk down to the ocean floor. There is quite a bit of the red clay on the bottom of the ocean floor, along with green seaweed-ish stuff, and if not careful, you will slip and fall. My son and husband did, and we laughed and laughed!This was a great location, but doesn't quite have the impact of Hopewell Rocks.Suggestion: wear Tevas or Keens or something that can handle the wet and mess and can wash off easily.

Our group of 14 spent the afternoon wandering through the mud at low tide. A little treacherous but a lot of fun. We had lots of muddy shoes, feet, bottoms and a couple of scrapes because it is so slippery. The park is a great place for a picnic. The lighthouse and observation deck gave a beautiful view.

Burncoat Head Park is lovely. It is off the main roads which provides an interesting drive to and from the park. There are restrooms/outhouses. No running water. Chipmunks are quite brazen so watch your picnic. Steps down to the beach are easy to navigate. It is quite muddy so be prepared for dirty shoes at low tide. The tide does not really rush in but it does rise quickly so watch if you venture far down the beach. Some things for sale in the lighthouse. Beautiful grounds, picnic tables. Well worth the trip.

The bay of Fundy tides are more visible here than anywhere . Explore the ocean floor at low tide and be amazed at high tide . No fee for the park but stay at the cottages next door for the million dollar view morning and evening . These are the best cottages I have ever been in and the price reasonable . Take your own food out , enjoy the tides , relax , and have a great time.
