There are certain things you expect to find along Nova Scotia’s South Shore … dozens of proud lighthouses, quaint small towns like Lunenburg and Shelburne, even a tour aboard our beloved schooner Bluenose II. What you might not expect are culinary hot spots, boutique shopping or more art galleries per capita than most major city cities. Plan to fall in love with the scenery and have your breath taken away when you on foot, by bike or kayak to see it all upclose!
Along the awesome Fundy shoreline and over the fields of the Annapolis Valley, there lies a whole world of adventure incorporating everything from food and wine to living history to extreme backcountry camping. You’ll understand the lure as you tour charming Victorian towns, overflowing farm markets and incomparable scenery. The adventure starts when the
world’s highest tides come rocking and rolling up the Bay of Fundy. Raft the rollercoaster waves, walk the ocean floor looking for fossils or explore the legends of Nova Scotia’s First People, the Mi’kmaq. After all, there must be some reason why 15 species of whales spend their summer vacation here!
From the highlands soaring above the Cabot Trail to the sun rising over the waters of the Bras d’Or Lakes to the splendor of Margaree Valley’s salmon rivers, there’s heart-stopping views around almost every corner. The Cabot Trail, one of the world’s most scenic drives, takes you from the charm of Baddeck through the Highlands to the Acadian village of Cheticamp. Eagles, whales, seals and moose keep you company along the way. History lives at the Fortress of Louisbourg and the Celtic heritage is in full swing all across the Island. Then there’s the music … many of the world’s finest Celtic musicians come here to play and party! So get your dancing shoes ready and join in!
Revel in the glories of the golden age of sail when Yarmouth was one of the most important ports in the world! Watch fishermen unload the catch of the day. Pass through ancient Acadian
villages where the tricolour flag of the Acadian nation greets you! The history of the area goes back 400 years and its culture is as colourful, proud and distinct today as it was back in the early 1600’s. Dine on Rappie Pie, dance to fiddles on fire or just sit quietly in one of
Acadia’s massive churches and before you know it, you’ll be talking with that distinct Acadian accent and calling everyone a cousin!
