Details

One of Nova Scotia's last intact coastal headlands, the preservation of Shelter Cove means protection of critical habitats and ecosystems for a diversity of wildlife - from the endangered mainland moose, to eagles and osprey, and otters, seals and whales.

Shelter Cove's deeply indented bays and inlets, beaches and forests provide unparalleled wilderness recreation and opportunities for scientific research and study.
