High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Partridge Island is a peninsula located near the mouth of the Parrsboro Harbour on the Minas Basin, in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. It is connected to the mainland by a sandbar isthmus that floods regularly with the tides of the Minas Basin. The trail climbs quickly to a height of about 200 feet above sea level, but there are numerous benches to rest on. The final destination is a look-off on which a viewing platform offers vistas of several coastal features of Nova Scotia. These sites include Cape Split, Cape D`or, Minas Basin, and Cobequid Bay. At dusk many lighthouses can be seen on the coasts surrounding Partridge Island.
