Horseshoe Cove Arch
Please read the precaution regarding tides in the Bay of
Fundy in the caption for Wasson Bluff Arch. Follow Rt. 2 into
Parrsboro, Nova Scotia and then get on Rt. 209 heading west.
As you get close to East Advocate, follow the signs to Cape D'Or.
The road to Cape D'Or is unpaved but is very passable to regular
passenger cars. There is a hotel and restaurant in Cape d'Or.
About 1 mile before the parking lot in Cape D'Or, there is a small
road to your left. Park here and walk the short distance down the
road to Horseshoe Cove. The arch is to the right, but not visible
from this location. Keep going to the right around one or two
small pieces of land that jut into the Bay of Fundy. The arch is
not visible until you are basically on top of it; so don't give up and
your persistence will be rewarded.
As it takes some time to get to this arch, time your visit very
carefully with the tide to avoid getting stranded.
