Between the rip tides of Petite Passage and Grand Passage lies Long Island, featuring rugged coastlines and striking basalt formations. The five minute ferry ride from Digby Neck lands you in Tiverton, where the Island Museum is located. A few kilometers down the road is the trailhead to the world-famous "Balancing Rock," a spectacular columnar basaltic sea stack. On the southwestern end of the island you will find the community of Freeport, with a beautiful harbour and a large fleet of lobster and fishing boats.
Brier Island is a rugged diamond in Nova Scotia's crown, an amazing variety of flora and fauna. The westernmost point in the province, this small basalt island sits where the cold waters of the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy meet.
The Town of Digby is situated on the western shore of the Annapolis Basin near the entrance to Digby Gut which connects the basin to the Bay of Fundy. It is an active fishing community, and is famous for the delicious scallops harvested from the local waters. With the waterfront location on the shores of the Annapolis Basin, the area offers spectacular viewing of the incredible tides (27ft. to 32 ft.) in the harbour. Digby is a sister community to Saint John, New Brunswick. A ferry service has joined these two locations on opposite sides of the Bay of Fundy for over 200 consecutive years.
