Oak Island is one of many islands located in Mahone Bay, which is on the Western Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada.
According to the legend, the inability of excavators to gain access to the contents of the Pit is due to the presence of a complex flooding system which has foiled repeated excavation attempts over the last two centuries.
Proponents claim that at least one of the beaches on the island is entirely artificial, acting as a giant sponge due to thick layers of coconut fibres beneath the surface (coconuts are not indigenous to Nova Scotia).

Large areas of the continental shelf off Nova Scotia were exposed, and with its numerous ponds, sandy or peaty soils, and river banks, provided suitable areas for colonization by many southern coastal plants.
The Coastal Plain flora in Nova Scotia later became isolated from their more southerly ranges when glacial meltwaters caused sea levels to rise, submerging the continental shelf once again.
The staff of Nova Scotia Provincial Parks is faced with the task of protecting and preserving the natural environment while ensuring that the visitors enjoy their stay.
