Baccaro (/ˈbækəroʊ/ BAK-ə-roh)[3] is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, 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. However, there are a few islands, such as Cape Sable Island, that are further south.[6]
