SOUTH SHORE

Coastal charm, outdoor adventure, and sea-inspired artisans and cuisine

From the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Town Lunenburg, with its colourful working waterfront and beautiful architecture, to the inspiring views of the coast and its 40-plus lighthouses, the South Shore is much more than the home of Bluenose II and the must-photograph Peggy’s Cove. It is a place where you can imagine a time when tall ships filled the harbours and experience the area’s seafaring heritage first-hand.

Watch how pewter designs become keepsakes before crafting a piece yourself at Amos Pewter in Mahone Bay, Atlantic Canada’s only Pewter Economuseum. At Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site, discover Mi’kmaw petroglyphs etched in rock, with the help of an interpreter, and experience stunning stargazing in the Dark Sky Preserve.

Culinary delights abound here, and fresh seafood is the cornerstone of many delectable dining experiences, like the famed Shore Club Lobster Suppers in Hubbards, famous for great live music and serving more than a million lobster suppers over the past 90 years. Delicious seafood is never far away!

Capture a moment

Here you will find unspoiled landscapes, majestic seascapes, and—clinging to the coastline between them—captivating vibrant communities.

UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Region

Experience the night sky the same way the Mi’kmaq saw it thousands of years ago, in spectacular darkness. In this rare place unaffected by light pollution, take a nighttime journey into the darkest skies of Nova Scotia. Learn about astronomy and Mi’kmaq cultural perspectives of the star-filled night sky with Parks Canada interpreters and Royal Astronomical Society of Canada astronomers.

Lunenburg Waterfront

Red wooden warehouses, brightly hued heritage homes, and crystal-blue water make the Lunenburg waterfront a jewel-toned tapestry. The best view is from Bluenose Golf Course on the other side of the harbour.

Peggy’s Cove

Probably the most-photographed lighthouse in Canada, the Peggy’s Point Lighthouse is a must capture. Just keep off the black rocks. Avoid the crowds and capture the sunrise and picturesque Peggy’s Cove Village from unique vantage points by joining the Peggy’s Cove Morning Light Tour with Picture Perfect Tours

Blue Rocks, near Lunenburg Artists, photographers and kayakers alike will be delighted by the undeniable natural beauty of the fishing village and surrounding islands of Blue Rocks.

Historic Shelburne Waterfront

Shelburne’s beautiful wooden buildings and maritime essence combined with an historic streetscape free of power lines make it easy to capture a stunning image from land or boat.

Three Churches, Mahone Bay

The New York Times called this postcard view “pretty as a picture.” Turn down the Oakland Road for a good vantage point and see for yourself why it is so charming.

LaHave Islands

Home to some of the few remaining island communities, the LaHave Islands showcase an important cultural landscape. Learn about the area, its inshore fishery, and island life at LaHave Islands Marine Museum. Explore the sheltered passageways and narrow inlets by kayak with Cape LaHave Adventures to discover fishing wharves, pristine beaches and coastal wildlife.

YARMOUTH & ACADIAN SHORES

Where the stars align

There’s a bit of magic in Yarmouth & Acadian Shores. It’s quiet and peaceful, yet full of adventure. This is where the land meets the sea. And where the darkest skies let the stars shine their brightest. It’s where the food is fresh and local, and the music is too. It’s where everything comes together. It’s where the stars align.

This region is part of North America’s first starlight destination—Acadian Skies and Mi’kmaq Lands—as designated by the International Starlight Foundation. Here you can discover dark skies like nowhere else, with brilliant stars from distant galaxies shining against the night sky. Enjoy a guided tour of the night sky at Deep Sky Eye Observatory, complete with onsite sky bubble accommodations. Or head to the world’s first certified Starlight Hotel, Trout Point Lodge, for a luxury wilderness escape with gourmet dining and guided outdoor adventures.

Located within the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Region, this region offers scenic coastal drives, quaint fishing villages, and untouched landscapes. This is where you can begin your Nova Scotia experience, exploring nature and culture.

Traditions, music, and food have been more than preserved here—they flourish. Immerse yourself in Acadian culture at Le Village historique acadien de la Nouvelle-Écosse, a picturesque living history museum with costumed interpreters and onsite cafe. Be sure to try traditional Acadian dishes like fricot and rappie pie.

In downtown Yarmouth, stroll the Heritage District to see colourful murals and unique Victorian homes.

Experience the vibrant culture and joie-de-vivre this region has to offer!

BAY OF FUNDY & ANNAPOLIS VALLEY

Savour the bounty of land and sea

This is a place where life is shaped by the sea and fertile soil. Together they tell a captivating story. The world’s highest tides carve the dramatic cliffs of the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark and caves and ocean floor experiences at Burntcoat Head Park that define the Bay of Fundy coastline.

Fresh food is a way of life in the heartland of Nova Scotia’s farming and wine industry. Bay of Fundy tides influence the climate and rich soils with ties to historic Acadian agricultural innovations resulting in bountiful harvests, the freshest local catches, and character rich wines. The area is home to 16 wineries and many craft breweries, distilleries, and cideries; meet the producers, discuss their craft, and sample their award-winning creations. For a local delicacy, enjoy succulent scallops in Digby, the scallop capital of the world and home to the world’s largest inshore scallop fleet. Or, dine on lobster at the Hall's Harbour Lobster Pound and Restaurant, a working lobster pound where you can witness the dramatic changes as the world's highest tide rolls in or out while enjoying your meal.

The region features eight National Historic Sites, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Region, partially located within Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site and the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark. Explore the history of the area and learn about Mi’kmaw culture at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site, visit the Landscape of Grand Pré UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iconic place of remembrance of the Acadians, and learn of the first successful European settlement in North America (1605) at Port-Royal.

Feel the rush of riding eight to 20+ foot waves in a white-water Zodiac boat as the surging power of the Bay of Fundy's tides turns the Shubenacadie River into a roller coaster on water, just 30 minutes from Truro. Explore hiking trails like at Cape Split, Cape Chignecto or Blomidon Provincial Parks, leading to incredible vistas that overlook the Bay of Fundy, walk on the ocean floor and watch for whales off Digby Neck and Islands.

Unexpected discoveries

Joggins Fossil Cliffs

UNESCO World Heritage Site

Explore the imposing cliffs where exposed layers of rock reveal the world’s most complete fossil record of life 300 million years ago, when lush forests covered the area and much of the world’s tropics were preserved in stone in the sea cliffs of Joggins. Guided beach tours are available.

Live theatre by moonlight, Two Planks and a Passion Theatre

This award-winning professional theatre of will more than impress with their outdoor spectacles presented on the grounds of the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts.

Bay of Fundy by air

Depart from Halifax Stanfield International Airport with Vision Air Services for a three hour helicopter tour or take flight with the Truro Flying Club departing from the Debert Flight Centre on a twohour flight in a private plane. Both tours offer bird's eye views of the incredible landscapes and cliffs along this coast, including Blomidon, Cape Split, Five Islands and more.

Bear River

Visit this charming "village on stilts" situated alongside a picturesque tidal river. Discover artisans at work in their studios and galleries, quaint cafés, restaurants and shops, a winery and brewery.

110 Experience warm-water beaches, charming towns and fab foodie finds

With more warm-water ocean beaches than anywhere else in Canada, this shore is Beach Country. There is always room for your beach towel, so don your swimsuit and sun hat and head out to Bayfield, Blue Sea, Caribou-Munroes Island, Heather, Melmerby, Northport, Pomquet, Rushtons, or Waterside Beach where the sparkling salt water averages more than 22°C (72°F) in the summer. Local producers of wine, spirits, craft beer, chocolate, and seafood are also dotted along this coastline, making for perfect pit stops as you beach hop.

But there is more along this quaint shoreline than beaches. This region is a burgeoning culinary destination with choices ranging from Atlantic Canada’s first sustainable seafood restaurant at the 5-star Fox Harb’r Resort to handmade Appleton Chocolates. Farmers’ markets can be found in Amherst, Pugwash, Tatamagouche, New Glasgow, and Antigonish, where just-harvested fruits and vegetables abound alongside one-of-akind handcrafted pieces by local artisans. Visit the GINstitute at Steinhart Distillery to craft your own gin, or Peace by Chocolate in Antigonish for a sweet treat.

Coastal accommodations are plentiful here, from cozy seaside cottages to campgrounds overlooking the Northumberland Strait. For a peek into this region’s past, look no further than the Hector Heritage Quay in Pictou, the “Birthplace of New Scotland.”

In New Glasgow, visit Viola's Way to learn the powerful story of Viola Desmond who stood up to racial inequality and became a Canadian civil rights leader.

Welcome to Cape Breton Island

Words of welcome have long been offered to visitors as they cross the Canso Causeway to Cape Breton, ready to explore a region where history lives and breathes.

Step into the life of a French settler at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, North America’s largest historical reconstruction; take a White Glove Tour of the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Bell’s life; hear Mi’kmaw stories and music while on an Eskasoni Cultural Journey; discover Chéticamp’s Acadian history and world-famous hooked rugs at Les Trois Pignons Museum; visit Baile nan Gàidheal | Highland Village, an outdoor living history museum and Gaelic folklife centre that illustrates the story, culture and identity of Nova Scotia Gaels; or tap your toes to the Celtic tunes and try your hand at playing the fiddle at the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre.

CAPE BRETON ISLAND

Canada by USA Today 10Best—the spectacular cliffside ocean vista is a reward for the senses. Play a round at Cabot Cliffs or Cabot Links, named #13 and #25 respectively on Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses for 2024 and #1 and #6 respectively on Golf Digest’s Best Courses in Canada for 2024. Stretch your legs with a bike ride or hike along the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail. Take a bike, car, or motorcycle tour of the world-renowned Cabot Trail, recently voted Best Scenic Drive in Canada by USA Today 10Best, with its dramatic coastal views and highland scenery.

From history and culture to music, seafood, outdoor adventures, talented artisans, and friendly locals, a new discovery awaits around every corner of Cape Breton Island, recently named the #1 Island in the Americas by Condé Nast Traveler, and #1 Best Island in Canada by Travel + Leisure

Tales of Cape Breton’s past continue to influence its future with countless opportunities for you to become immersed in the Island’s stories.

Breathe in the fresh air as you venture outside to take in a hike along the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, recently voted the Best National Park in

CEILIDH TRAIL

Gaelic culture at its best

“Ceilidh” (kay-lee) is Gaelic for “gathering,” and a journey along the Ceilidh Trail (R oute 19) by vehicle, or the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail by bike, offers an opportunity to experience the true meaning of the word. Both routes run parallel to the ocean and connect the communities and attractions along the way.

Meet the locals by stopping into the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre or The Red Shoe Pub for some live music and dancing, and enjoy a delicious meal at The Clove Hitch Bar & Bistro overlooking the ocean in Port Hood. Say hello to artist Ann Schroeder and peruse her beautiful hand-painted quilts and silk scarves. A trip to Mabou wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Mabou Farmers’ Market. Over 40 vendors offer delicious local food and produce, beautiful jewellery and art, and of course, live music on Sunday mornings. For the golfer in your group head to Inverness and play a round at the world-renowned Cabot Cliffs or Cabot Links, named #13 and #25 respectively on Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses for 2024, #1 and #6 respectively on Golf Digest’s Best Courses in Canada for 2024, and #1 and #3 respectively on SCOREGolf’s Top 100 for 2024.

Gaelic, Acadian, and Mi’kmaw people have strong roots in this area. Nowhere is this more evident than at the Strathspey Performing Arts Centre, a state-ofthe-art performance facility where the music, dance, and folklore of these cultures are celebrated.

History, culture, and beautiful natural landscapes are combined here, offering up an unforgettable visit along Cape Breton’s rugged coast.
