Hopewell Rocks

**The Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park **has three primary access points to the Ocean Floor. Main Deck offers a large metal staircase complete with a spacious viewing platform. Guests can descend the 99 stairs to the ocean floor and after exploring, can boast bragging rights to having climbed the 101 steps back to the top. For those who are not a fan of stairs, venturing a little further towards North Beach grants you access to a ramp with benches strategically placed along the incline. Although the ramp is suitable for wheelchairs, many find the ocean floor to be too challenging to navigate on wheels. Finally, the treasures of Demoiselle await those who walk the trail leading South from behind the Interpretive Centre. This trail gently descends to sea level and provides an incredible view of our cliffside, Shepody Mountain, Mary's Point and Grindstone Island. No matter which Ocean Floor access point you choose, the shoreline can be fully explored at low tide. Your stroll will be relatively easy until reaching the ledges. Many use the Ledges as a turnaround point but our more adventurous guests may choose to clamber over this outcrop ridge of limestone rock. Caution must be used as the Ledges are often slippery and can shift under foot.
