Whats across the bay?
As you stand on the deck of Cape House facing Chignecto Bay, from your far left to your extreme right is the Province of Nova Scotia, roughly 8.5 km away. At the far left is the border between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and the community of Aulac, though not visible, is at the point where the headland dips lowest to the horizon. Moving farther to the right from Aulac is the community of Joggins where individual buildings can be seen on a clear day. Joggins is world renowned for its fossil deposits. As your view sweeps the coastline directly in front of you, the remote wilderness of the Sand River area shows high cliffs much the same as here at the Cape. The last point of land to the far right (not visible from the deck) is near the village of Apple River. Beyond that point, the shoreline takes you to the Minas Basin and Parsborough, Kentville, and the beginning of the Annapolis Valley.
