#62 Northumberland Links Golf Course

The 6160-yard, par 72 course, minutes from Pugwash, overlooking the Northumberland Strait, is one of Atlantic Canada's most picturesque and challenging layouts.

This tricky par three sits on the Northumberland strait with a steep embankment on one side giving way to the Atlantic Ocean. A successful shot has to be hit over the embankment and more than one golfer has sacrificed his ball to the sea. The sea scenery combines with the beautiful landscaping of the grounds to create an atmosphere perfect for a round of golf. The greens are made from thincross creeping bluegrass, and are designed to challenge even the most serious players, while the fairways are made from an annual bluegrass, common to most courses in the province.

Elsewhere, White Spruce and poplar colonize abandoned fields.

#70 Joggins Fossil Cliffs

The beach provides a good cross-sectional view of the ChignectoRidged Plain. The visibly sloped strata are a combination of shale and siltstone layers, along with intermittent sandstone layers in which both plant and animal fossils occur. Every winter erodes the cliffs and every tide changes the beach, abrading the cliffs and revealing new fossils.. The cliffs themselves are protected and may only be utilized for research by professional geologists with permits from thr Department of Natural Resources. Visitors may collect samples from the beach, however. A wide range of fossils may be found by walking along the beach, examining the rocks and breaking them open to expose the fossils. And, of course, any beach walk means beach-combing for shells, driftwood and other flotsam.

... in Denmark, near Tatamagouche, was very up-to-date when it was built in the 1890s. Powered by steam, it no longer needed a river or stream as an energy source.

#80 The Lighthouse At Cape George

Because Cape George is composed of bedrock it extends well into the Northumberland Strait, while it's neighbouring shoreline has been eroded away. The tip of the cape consists of 100m cliffs, scoured by strong ocean currents. A lighthouse was built on the cape in 1861 and is still an important navigational aid for mariners in the strait. A hiking trail leads to the lighthouse. The views of the Northumberland Strait are tremendous with Prince Edward Island visible to the west and Cape Breton Island to the east. This is a great place to see unscheduled and unpredictable families of whales swimming by. (and I do mean unscheduled! On the same day, only hours apart, our guests have reported seeing 30 whales while the others saw none at all!)

Barnum, she met and eventually married MartinVan Burren Bates the so called "Kentucky Giant". The Anna Swan Archives holds personal items of Anna Swan, photographs, a door from their custom built house, and other items of interest.

#84 Watch The Sun Go Down

Advocate Beach is known for its magnificent sunsets. The beach, littered with piles of driftwood as much as six feet tall, forms an impassable barrier across Advocate Harbour. It almost connects the two capes, and it is broken only by a small opening used by fishing boats � and then only when the tide is high. Visitors are astonished to see fishing boats lying on the mud during low tide, and then heading out of the harbour two hours later with 30 feet of water under their keel. Visitors can exoect to see shore birds such as sandpipers, gulls and the occasional hawk. Sometimes cormorants and blue herons fish on the harbour side of the beach. The grey seals often seen along the shore have their rookery on Isle Haut, approximately 12 miles offshore and directly in front of the beach.

#84 Hiking And History

The Wallace and Area Museum has approximately four kilometres of trails open to visitors. In the fall of 1998 the Museum opened several short walking trails to allow visitors to experience nature without having to make a large commitment of time. The 222 acres of land which belong to the Museum were originally purchased from a United Empire Loyalist, Peter Tuttle, in the early nineteenth century by James B. Davison. In 1839, shortly after he had established a successful shipbuilding yard, Mr. Davison built the one-and-a-half storey house which, presently, is the Museum. The property passed down through his descendants to his great-grandson, John Alexander Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy was a prosperous businessman who became president of his own electrical refrigeration company. At his death in 1987, Mr. Kennedy donated both the house and the property to be used as a museum in memory of his family and their Wallace heritage. With over six thousand artifacts catalogued as belonging to the Davison - Kennedy home, this allows for display changes several times a year.

#87 Waterfalls And Trails

Victoria Park boasts a trail network nearly 20 km's in length, providing a popular site for walking, hiking, jogging, cross country skiing and cycling. The Hemlock Trail is a .7 km route beginning at a stairway in the lower park near Adam Street. The paths meander through 200 year old eastern hemlock stands. The Lepper Brook Walk is a relatively flat trail that begins in the lower park and winds alongside the brook under the cover of softwood. The Mountain Walk is a .5 km path cut into the steep hillside of the gorge overlooking the Lepper Brook.The llokoff at the top of Wood Street offers a spectacular view of the valleys of the Salmon and North Rivers, which meet and flow into the world famous Bay of fundy. On a clear day, the view extends down to the bay to Five Islands, a distance of about 60 km's. The walking trails follow the natural contours of this magnificent setting, allowing for close-up views of the park's two waterfalls, the brrok and steep gorges.joe Howe Falls is one of the most photographed spots in town. Still further along are the Waddell Falls and the Cathedral Dell with a pagoda and picnic tables. In a shady glen there is a replica of the Holy Well, an Acadian baptismal site in the 17th and 18th centuries.

#88 See The Golden Coast

Cape d'Or, which means "Cape of Gold" was named by Samuel de Champlain, who saw the native copper in the cliffs and thought it was gold. If you look at the cliffs from the lookoffs on the eastern side of the coast, you can see the same golden colour that so impressed Champlain. Cape d'Or provides two sites to visit: Horseshoe Cove and the lighthouse site at the tip of the cape. Horseshoe Cove has a mineral-rich cobble beach where you can see amethyst and copper-sheeted basalt that obviously bubbled through the surface during the region's volcanic past. The site features a picnic area with a gazebo and a play area for children. The lighthouse at the tip of the cape is now automated, but the former residences of the lightkeepers has been converted into a tea room. Four trails lead away from the parking area to lookoffs that provide views of the basalt shoreline.

#89 Tidal Bore Rafting

A tidal bore is a rare natural phenomenon occurring on several rivers emptying into the Bay of Fundy. The surge of the incoming Fundy tide temporarily reverses the flow of these rivers and appears as a crest of water traveling upriver. On the Shubenacadie River, the tidal bore and rapidly rising tide results in extremely turbulent waters. It is here where experienced guides offer a safe but exhilarating river rafting adventure and an opportunity to experience the power of the Fundy Tides first hand. www.centralnovascotia.com/tides.php

#90 River John The Read by the Sea Literary Festival

#91 Spencer's Island Historic Site

Spencer's Island � which is not an island � was once Nova Scotia's premier shipbuilding community. Now greatly diminished from its glory days, it is an interesting little area with a general store, historic lighthouse and fish and chip stand. The former lighthouse contains an interpretive center. A nearby cairn tells the story of the Mary Celeste, a brigantine built here as the amazon in 1867, but salvaged and re-registered in 1868 in New York as the Mary Celeste. In 1872 she was found sailing herself off the the Azores, with not a soul left on board. Her abandonment is one of the enduring mysteries of the sea, and has been the subject of numerous articles, plays and novels. The beach area is a breeding site for the Double Crested Cormorant, Black Guillemot and blue heron and you can usually see the herons feeding in a marsh located on the land side of the beach.

Port Greville � The main pavilion of this shipbuilding interpretive center is located in a restored 1857 Methodist church. Shipbuilding exhibits � including photos, videos, models and other artifacts � areon display inside the church and at several other locations on the site.Among the notable exhibits is a painting of the Cumberland Queen, a ship that sank off the coast of Boston at the turn of the century, loaded with salt. A year later, the salt having dissolved, the ship resurfaced in front of a fishing boat. Her sails were tattered but her rigging was intact. The fisherman towed her into Boston where she underwent a refit, after which she went back to sea. The sight, sound and smell exhibits are particularily notable, and the center has won awards for architecture. The site includes a working blacksmith's shop as well as a tea room overlooking a tidal river from its deck. The Port Greville lighthouse was moved to the Canadian Coast Guard College in Sydney in the 1960's, but was returned to Port Greville in 1998. It now stands on the grounds of the interpretive center, about one km west of its original location.
