Cape Enrage
A white lighthouse on a clifftop above the Bay of Fundy. You can go rock climbing and ziplining, and at low tide you can walk down to the beach to look for fossils.
Cape Enrage is a headland jutting into the Bay of Fundy. A lighthouse built in the 1840s stands on the clifftop, overlooking the churning tides. The current lighthouse dates from 1904. The site is run by a non-profit organization and offers rock climbing, rappelling and a zipline across the gorge. The restaurant serves seafood. At low tide, a staircase leads down to the beach, where Carboniferous plant fossils can be seen in the cliff strata. Collecting them is prohibited. Admission is a few Canadian dollars, and adventure activities cost extra and must be booked in advance. The site is about 20 minutes' drive from Alma.
