Baccaro (/ˈbækəroʊ/ BAK-ə-roh)[2] is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia,[3] located in the Barrington Municipal District.[4]
The community's name comes from "baccolaos," the Basque word for cod-fish.[5] Baccaro Point has a weather station (Station ID WCP). It is mainland Nova Scotia's southernmost point. There are a few islands, however; such as Cape Sable Island, that are further south.[6]
