Cape d'Or is a headland located near Advocate, Nova Scotia on the Bay of Fundy coast of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Cape d'Or is located in Cumberland County and is a continuation of the North Mountain tholeiitic basalt formation.[1] The cape marks the north point of the entrance to the Minas Basin. The cape is marked by dramatic 200 m (660 ft) cliffs on its western side and 30 m (98 ft) cliffs on its southern side overlooking treacherous tidal currents in the Minas Channel. A basalt reef extends from the Cape into the Bay of Fundy where it intersects the violent waters of the Dory Rips, a rip tide created by the collision of three strong tidal currents.
