A sweeping vista of the ancient world. Home to the world’s highest ocean tides, the Cliffs are a showcase of the Coal Age and are unrivalled within the fossil record. A walk along the beautiful and rugged 15 kilometre beach gives one a sense of awe and majesty. Experience the sweeping vista of the cliffs and sheer power of the sea crashing on huge sandstone reefs.
A walk on the beach of Joggins is a walk through time. Joggins has inspired some of the world’s leading scientists, including Charles Darwin. Joggins has been described as the “Coal Age Galapagos” and is a place where the world’s oldest reptiles have been found. With each tide, new and incredible geological and paleontological riches are continually revealed by erosion and are waiting to be discovered.
