Baccaro Road, Baccaro
The wild forces of the wind, tide and occasional storm constantly reshape this nearly 2 km long beach, a treasure for birders, walkers and photographers. The 45 foot high Baccaro Lighthouse is just minutes away, has an area for picnicking, and the view is breathtaking. Baccaro (from the Basque word bacalao meaning codfish) is the oldest place name in Nova Scotia and is the southernmost point of mainland Nova Scotia.
