Cape Chignecto is located at the westernmost tip of [[Cumberland County, Nova Scotia|Cumberland County]] and is the western limit of the [[Cobequid Hills]], a low mountain range that is part of the [[Appalachian Mountains]] and extends across the northern part of the [[Nova Scotia peninsula]].<br />

The cape bifurcates the Bay of Fundy into [[Chignecto Bay]] to the north and the Minas Channel, leading to the [[Minas Basin]] to the east. Since 1998 the cape has been located within [[Cape Chignecto Provincial Park]], the largest provincial park in the province and a renowned wilderness reserve. The cape features a rugged topography with reportedly the highest cliffs on the Nova Scotia peninsula, created by the upthrusting [[Cobequid fault]].<br />
<br />
The cape is mostly uninhabited. It includes the ghost towns of [[Eatonville, Nova Scotia|Eatonville]] and [[New Yarmouth, Nova Scotia|New Yarmouth]]. The nearest inhabited village is [[Advocate, Nova Scotia]].<br />
<br />
The name "Chignecto" derives from the Mi'kmaw name Siknikt, meaning "drainage place", the name of the [[Mi'kmaq]] District in which the cape is located.<br />
