Things to do at Scots Bay Provincial Park
- Scots Bay Beach Walk EasyRV parking available
Scots Bay Beach is a long cobble and sand shoreline on the Bay of Fundy known for dramatic tidal swings. Visitors walk the exposed beach at low tide to look for agates, jasper, and amethyst, a regional rockhounding tradition.
- Cape Split Hike ModerateRV parking available
The Cape Split trail begins a short drive from Scots Bay and leads to one of Nova Scotia's most iconic headland viewpoints. The round trip is roughly 13 km through mixed forest to open cliff meadows above the Minas Channel.
- Tidal Viewing on the Minas Channel EasyRV parking available
The park offers front-row views of some of the highest tides in the world. Checking a tide chart before visiting allows travelers to experience both the dramatic low-tide flats and the full high-tide shoreline in a single day.
- Rockhounding and Beachcombing EasyRV parking available
The Bay of Fundy shore near Scots Bay is well known for semi-precious stones and fossils exposed by the tides. Visitors should stay clear of unstable cliff bases and be aware of fast-returning tides.
- Blomidon Provincial Park Day Trip ModerateRV parking available
Blomidon Provincial Park sits just across the peninsula and offers cliff-top trails, a campground, and sweeping Fundy views. It is a natural pairing with a Scots Bay visit for RVers basing in the Annapolis Valley.
- Annapolis Valley Wine Country Easy
Scots Bay sits above the Annapolis Valley, one of Canada's notable wine regions. The Wolfville and Grand Pre area offers wineries, farm markets, and the Grand Pre National Historic Site within a short drive.
- Birdwatching Along the Fundy Shore EasyRV parking available
The Fundy coast near Scots Bay is a productive area for shorebirds, raptors, and seabirds, especially during spring and fall migration. Bring binoculars and scan the tidal flats at low tide.

Simply a perfect experience for a first-time campervan adventure. And this is obviously largely thanks to Megan. Flexible, always available if you have any questions, and always with a smile. Thank you for making this first, often slightly stressful experience so easy. We're already thinking about our next trip with the Scamper!
Arnaud D. - Sep 2026
It was our first RV rental experience. We absolutely lucked out when it to came to Megan. Extremely nice, accommodating, and patient. The unit itself was unreal. It truly makes me what to go out and buy a similar unit for myself.

How to get to Scots Bay Provincial Park
Scots Bay is reached via Route 358 north from Wolfville, about a 35 to 40 minute drive covering roughly 30 km through the Annapolis Valley farmland and up over the Blomidon ridge. From Halifax it is approximately 120 km, around a 1 hour 30 minute drive via Highway 101. RV drivers should note that the final stretch of Route 358 is narrow and winding with some steep grades as it climbs and descends the North Mountain, so large motorhomes and long trailers should proceed with caution. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
