Parrsboro

Located on the Bay of Fundy in the heart of the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark, Parrsboro is the ideal place to explore and experience the rise and fall of the world’s highest tides and the story of Pangea.

The lighthouse view overlooking the harbour is one of the best in the province and showcases both the horizontal and vertical extremes of the impressive Fundy tides. In addition to the view, the Parrsboro area is the most significant place on earth for harnessing tidal energy.

The Fundy tides are not the only big deal in town. Parrsboro is where Canada’s oldest dinosaurs once roamed! The Fundy Geological Museum shares the area’s rich 350-million-year history of fossils, stones and dinosaur bones with exhibits and guided beach tours.
