Fairy Hole is a dramatic sea cave tucked beneath the cliffs of Cape Dauphin, long connected to Mi’kmaq legend and the figure Kluskap. Set along the rugged coastline of St. Anns Bay, the viewpoint looks out across steep forested slopes, rocky shoreline and the Atlantic beyond, with the cave carved directly into the coastal cliffs below. The atmosphere here feels remote and wild, especially on windy days when waves crash against the rocks beneath the headland. Going into the cave is not advised.
