Burntcoat Head Park is home of the World`s Highest Record Tides. One hundred billion tonnes of water daily flow into the basin every 13 hours which is more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers! Bring your family and friends along for an unforgettable experience. Explore the tide pools to find hermit crabs and snails, and maybe a crab or two. You can hunt for fossils and find interesting rocks and shells along the beach. You can walk for miles on the ocean floor, watch beautiful sunsets, have a picnic, explore the walking trails and visit the lighthouse.

Welcome to The Hawk Webcam, streaming breathtaking live views from the most southerly point of Nova Scotia. From this vantage point, you can see the Cape Sable Lighthouse, standing proudly as the tallest lighthouse in the Maritimes. The Hawk is not only known for its sweeping beaches and shifting sands, but it is also recognized as an Important Bird Area (IBA), home to countless shorebirds and a vital stopover for migratory species. This makes it a destination beloved by bird watchers, nature lovers, and coastal explorers alike. This webcam offers a window into the daily rhythms of Cape Sable Island – from lobster boats heading out to sea, to waves rolling in with the tide, to the ever-changing skies above. No matter where you are in the world, you can now experience the natural wonder and coastal charm of Nova Scotia’s South Shore in real time. We gratefully acknowledge the partnership of W. Sears Seafoods, whose support made it possible to share this stunning view with the world.
