Located a few kilometers from the Gannet's Nest RV Park is the Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve, one of the most spectacular (and most accessible!) seabird colonies in the world. For over a century, naturalists and lovers of the outdoors have been drawn here, amazed by the immensity, the whirling clamour of 70,000 seabirds and the awesome power of great whales.

Come see for yourself what famous ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson meant when he wrote:

"the birds...swirl past the cliff face like a blizzard of snow."

From May to October, resident naturalists will welcome you, guide you across the barrens, and introduce you to an experience of unspoiled nature you will never forget.
