Nature sauvage intouchée, attractions à saveur historique, véritables communautés de pêcheurs et plages interminables : les explorateurs ont l’embarras du choix pour ce qui est des aventures originales sur la côte est de la Nouvelle-Écosse.
Peu importe la saison, c’est l’heure du surf dans les vagues déferlantes des plages Lawrencetown et Martinique, où les amateurs du sport nautique pourront profiter de conditions qui n’ont rien à envier au reste de la côte est. Pour les moins hardis qui recherchent tout de même un petit brin d’aventure, cap sur l’archipel 100 Wild Islands. Protégées à perpétuité, ces îles sont réputées pour leurs anses abritées, leurs eaux turquoise, leurs caps balayés par les grands vents et leurs forêts pluviales boréales hors du commun.

Yes, the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia is one of the best cold water surfing destinations in the world! With a shoreline totally exposed to the swells from the Atlantic Ocean, the best time to surf in Nova Scotia is in the fall. The fall provides a combination of warmer waters and waves created during hurricane season. To find out more, visit the surfing page.
Off the coast of the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, lies a little known yet incredible natural treasure- a vast and beautiful archipelago of over 100 Wild Islands. This is one of the last remaining intact and ecologically rich island groups of its size in North America. Here you will find untouched white sand beaches, idyllic sheltered coves, and dramatic, windswept headlands to welcome the intrepid wilderness paddler or sailor. The unique coastal rainforests, bogs and barrens, and over 250 kilometres of shoreline have been largely undisturbed by humans for over 10,000 years. A rich diversity of birds find refuge in the islands, from majestic eagles and osprey to over 100 species of seabirds, songbirds and shorebirds. Many of the outdoor operators on the Eastern Shore offer boat tours to visit the islands. Discover More >
Along with beaches and parks throughout this region, visit Memory Lane Heritage Village in Lake Charlotte to experience life in Nova Scotia in the 1940s complete with a cookhouse restaurant serving up traditional meals, cool cars, a store and even friendly farm animals. Stop at our largest living history museum when you visit Sherbrooke Village Museum where you can step back in time over 105 years. Stoll the village and visit the blacksmith, have your photo printed on glass as a keepsake, and more. Don’t forget to visit the resident farm animals and to pick up some candy at local shop.
