'''Digby Neck''' is a Canadian [peninsula](/source/peninsula) extending into the [Bay of Fundy](/source/Bay_of_Fundy) in [Digby County](/source/Digby_County%2C_Nova_Scotia), [Nova Scotia](/source/Nova_Scotia).
Digby Neck is the western extension of the [North Mountain](/source/North_Mountain_(Nova_Scotia)) range from the [Annapolis Valley](/source/Annapolis_Valley) and is made of two thick [lava](/source/lava) flows. It is separated from the eastern portion of the North Mountain by a deep, tidal channel, the [Digby Gut](/source/Digby_Gut). Along with [Long Island](/source/Long_Island_(Nova_Scotia)) and [Brier Island](/source/Brier_Island), it forms the northwest shore of [St. Mary's Bay](/source/St._Marys_Bay%2C_Nova_Scotia).[{{cite web|url=http://www.novascotia.com/about-nova-scotia/blogs/six-great-seacoast-drives-nova-scotia|website=novascotia.com| title=Six Great Seacoast Drives in Nova Scotia. No 4. Digby Neck|date=27 Mar 2012}}]
The westernmost community on the Digby Neck is [East Ferry](/source/East_Ferry%2C_Nova_Scotia), opposite [Tiverton](/source/Tiverton%2C_Nova_Scotia) on Long Island to the west. The "Petit Passage" separates Long Island from the Digby Neck.{{cite web|url=http://nstravelguide.com/transport/ferry/digbyneckferries|website=Nova Scotia Travel Guide| title=Digby Neck Ferries|author=Andrew & Friedel| access-date=5 February 2018}}
In 2018 [Bilcon](/source/Bilcon) sought to blast a [gravel quarry](/source/gravel_quarry) on the Digby Neck, but an environmental impact study killed the plan.[https://www.bilaterals.org/?digby-neck-quarry-claim-pm-should]
==Hurricane==
In September 2008 [Hurricane Kyle](/source/Hurricane_Kyle_(2008)) made landfall on the peninsula as a category 1 [hurricane](/source/hurricane).[[http://news.smh.com.au/world/hurricane-kyle-makes-landfall-in-canada-20080929-4psz.html Hurricane Kyle Makes Landfall]]
