Cape Split is at the end of a hook-shaped peninsula separating Minas Channel and the Bay of Fundy from Minas Basin.(near Canning to the NE of Kentville - see map - 1st picture). The tip of the peninsula has been cut-off by the relentless action of the tides, hence the name. To reach Cape Split requires a 3 1/2 mile walk from Scott's Bay through the woods on a dirt trail complete with volcanic rocks and slippery tree roots. At Scott's Bay fishing boats resting on the rocks, over twelve metres below the top of the dock, are the most visible reminder of the world's highest recorded tides.

Perhaps the most awesome display of the tides on our planet occurs at Cape Split, on the southern side of the entrance to Minas Basin (Cape Split may be reached by a pleasant two-hour walk along a popular hiking trail from the village of Scots Bay, which is a 30-minute drive north of Wolfville). Here at the time of the mid-point of an incoming tide, for a considerable distance the forest on the towering cliffs is filled with a hollow roar produced by the turbulence of the waters surging over the submarine ridges below. The currents exceed 8 knots (4m/s), and the flow in the deep, 5 km-wide channel on the north side of Cape Split equals the combined flow of all the streams and rivers of Earth (about 4 cubic kilometres per hour). Three hours later the spectacle pauses, and then begins flowing in the opposite direction.

Regrettably, we missed this moment. Story of my life.
