Shoreline exposure of Triassic North Mountain basalt along the Bay of Fundy. The top of one lava flow occurs at the base of the cliff in places; these areas host the most minerals.
Victoria Harbour is not known for minerals in any quantity, but good specimens of apophyllite have been found.
Access is via a rough gravel road with room to turn around at the bottom.
As at other nearby localities the water comes to the base of the cliff so visitors must be extremely cautious, know the tide times, and be sure to be off the beach with plenty of spare time (ex. visit on falling tide).
