The Fundy Shore Ecotour is a former scenic drive and network of tourist destinations in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and encircles several sub-basins of the Bay of Fundy, which contains the highest tidal range on the planet.

The Fundy Shore Ecotour ran from Brooklyn, Hants County in the south, to Amherst, Cumberland County near the inter-provincial boundary with New Brunswick in the north. It followed the shores of Chignecto Bay, Minas Basin, and Cobequid Bay and overlaps with and extends the Glooscap Trail in many places.

Some remnant signage of the Fundy Shore Ecotour still remain, but the route has been largely replaced by the Glooscap Trail and Fundy Shore Scenic Drive.
