Fall in Nova Scotia is best known for majestic colours, apple and pumpkin u-picks, winery visits and bountiful harvests. But as Halloween approaches, so do eerie experiences to help get you in the spirit of the season… if you’re brave enough. Here are a few spine-chilling favourites to check out if you dare!
When the summer heat gives way to crisp, refreshing days and the scenery turns from greens to golds and vibrant reds, a season of even more things to do in Nova Scotia begins. While swimming in our warm ocean and lake beaches may be over for another year, there are endless opportunities to get outside and explore all the incredible family-friendly activities fall brings.
From white sand beaches and the impressive waves of the Atlantic Ocean to coastlines shaped by the world’s highest tides, fall is the perfect time of year to savour the spectacular views of Nova Scotia’s ocean playground.
Get outdoors to experience incredible hiking (and biking on some trails), soak in scenic views, and check out the fall colours across Nova Scotia this autumn.

Harvest season in Nova Scotia is a favourite time of year, especially at one of our 20+ wineries. Vineyards are seemingly bursting with grapes on the vines, waiting to be picked any day. Colourful fall foliage provides the perfect backdrop for sipping Tidal Bay on cozy patios. Cool, crisp sweater weather is ideal for walks in the vineyard, or an outdoor lunch paired with a glass of wine.
Here in Nova Scotia, you don’t have to venture far to experience a kaleidoscope of fall colours. From wooded hiking trails and urban parks to rural communities, our province boasts some of the best leaf watching in North America. Read on to discover all the best spots to experience the changing leaves this year.
For the past three years, we’ve taken our kids (now aged 13, seven, and five) to Ingonish for a long weekend in the fall. Cape Breton as a whole is amazing, and a few weeks ago we drove all the way around, but we’re already planning next year’s Ingonish break because there’s so much to see and do squeezed into a relatively small geographical area.
Summer temperatures may have faded away until next year but there is plenty of time for a memorable stay at one of Nova Scotia’s resorts. Most are open year-round and offer incredible oceanside dining, relaxing hot tubs, spas and pools, cozy guest rooms and memorable beach walks and sunsets.
