Duncans Cove Nature Reserve is located approximately 17 km south of Halifax in the Pennant Granite Barrens natural landscape.

Duncans Cove Nature Reserve is an excellent example of a representative coastal headland, barren, and bog complex, and is particularly valued because of its proximity to the Halifax metropolitan area and its popularity as a natural area. It is also the only known mainland Nova Scotia locality supporting the provincially rare Arctic Blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum).
