The tour starts and ends at the magnificent St. Simon and St. Jude Church in Tignish. You’ll wind your way through coastal roads to reach the dramatic cliffs of North Cape before making your way to Skinners Pond Beach. Along the way, I’ll share stories about the mysterious Phantom Ship that locals claim still appears on foggy nights, and tell you how Irish moss harvesting shaped the local economy.

5.00Enjoyed this driving tour. We learned a lot about the area and visited locations that we wouldn't have otherwise. There was a good mix of history and local stories. We enjoyed walking on the reef and walked the nature trail. Would recommend this tour.
