This place is what I like to call ''a great Sunday spot'' to go to and take in all that nature has to offer. The water, the cliffs, and the shoreline, are all beauts. Be sure to bring your camera, you can't take a bad picture here. The cliffs are stunning.

Although the lighthouse was closed for the season when we visited, the small park surrounding it is a good place for a picnic lunch and a walk on the shore to watch the tidal bore come in. The shoreline and rocks are impressive and offer a great photo opportunity.

We traveled to Burntcoat Park as another place to see the affect of the tides in the Bay of Fundy. An unexpected pleasure was the lighthouse. Very nice.

A real must-see both at low and high tides. Plan to return for both and have your camera as well as a scarf, fleece and gloves. Wild and surly tides. A real high point in NS

The Burnt Coat Lighthouse lies within the provincial park. Admission to the lighthouse museum is by donation and the exhibits of the lighthouse materials and fossil deposits are very interesting. The former lighthouse was lost to erosion in 1913. See the island that the lighthouse used to stand on and visit at low tide to experience the Bay of Fundy tide variation; walk the red shores and enjoy the experience!!

Spectacular site for experiencing the volume and rapidity of the Bay of Fundy tides. One moment you're standing on a rocky promontory...a few moments later it's under water. It's a bit out of the way driving-wise, but worth it, and once you arrive it's just a short walk down a path and some steps to the shoreline, where there are rocks you can sit on (until they go under water). Be sure to consult the tide charts for the date you visit. If you want to experience walking across the dry sea-bed, come at low tide; if you want to watch the basin fill up, aim at the hour leading up to high tide. The lighthouse doesn't reward the climb to the top with dramatic views, so you can skip that. But do go inside and read up on tides in the area.

Interesting. Great views. Well tended property. The lighthouse is a reconstruction, but still interesting. Staff very helpful. Good parking.
