Description: The Bay of Fundy Inn is a restored Victorian house, circa 1830, overlooking Grand Passage on Brier Island, in the Bay of Fundy & Annapolis Valley region. Brier Island is the gateway to the Bay of Fundy and the island is situated out in the Bay. The island, the most westernmost location in the province, is a haven for birders, sailors, whale watching enthusiasts and nature lovers from across North America. Brier Island is just two scenic ferry rides from Digby Neck in southwestern Nova Scotia. Visitors must cross on two car ferries to the island – the crossings are mere minutes and are a great part of the adventure to get to Brier Island. Stay at our Victorian inn or guesthouse and explore a unique travel and eco-tourism destination in Atlantic Canada. Only 7.5 kilometres long and 2.5 kilometres wide, Brier Island and the waters of the Bay of Fundy that surround it are among the most important ecological regions in Eastern Canada. In the early spring and fall the island is an important stopover destination for migrating birds, and the often rare species that rest here attract birders from as far away as Europe and Asia. The protected bog habitat on the island is a source of rare plant species including Eastern Mountain Avens and several species of rare orchids. Hiking enthusiasts will love the trails that follow the rugged coastline and jagged cliffs, a spectacular reminder of the power of the Bay of Fundy tides, the highest in the world. We are a short trip away from the monument memorial to Joshua Slocum, the Brier Island man who was the first to sail alone around the world in 1898. View the famous Balancing Rock, vertical column of basalt, balanced on its tip, the most-photographed of Long Island’s striking basalt formations. Our accommodations include four rooms (Twin, King and Queen-sized beds) with shared 3-piece baths. A complimentary continental breakfast is served. There are numerous pieces of antique furniture throughout the house and each bedroom is tastefully decorated. There is plenty of room for parking at the rear of the building. Bay of Fundy Inn offers a whale watch and accommodation package with Mariner Cruises Whale and Seabird Tours. Visa, MasterCard and American Express are accepted.

Description: Beach Heaven Holiday Home is a striking, modern beach house with a whimsical personality that is evident from the moment you reach the driveway. Look up and you will see some of Port Mouton’s namesakes. The story goes that in 1604 Samuel de Champlain, the famous explorer (and later founder of Quebec City), anchored in Port Mouton`s protected bay to chart the Nova Scotia coastline. The sheep on board were so excited to see land that they jumped overboard and tried to swim to shore. All were lost, except for a plucky couple who made it and are now living on the roof of Beach Heaven Holiday Home. Built in 2011-12, Beach Heaven Holiday Home is a contemporary design with floor to ceiling picture windows running the width of the house. Overlooking the Port Mouton Bay, the views are of blue skies, white sands and shimmering seas dotted with islands. Upstairs, the space is dominated by the sun-filled open concept kitchen, living and dining room. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a full selection of dishes, pots and pans, kettle and coffee maker and much more. Inviting sofas and a modern recliner welcome you to the living area. The dining area has custom table along the masonry stove. Patio doors lead from the dining room out to a screen room and from there to an upper deck that runs the width of the living space and features a couple of Adirondeck chairs and tempered glass rails so as not to obstruct the incredible view. Adjacent to the living room is a sunny reading area and work space with glorious ocean views. Beyond that there is a large master bedroom with two queen beds. The room features a wall of windows that overlooks the beautiful bay and beach. Overhead skylights make it possible for you to watch the night sky pass by while listening to the sound of waves and fall asleep. On this main floor there is also the main 4-piece bathroom (no tub). On the ground floor there is a large media room, next to one other bedroom with two twin beds configured into a king size bed, and an ensuite 3 piece bathroom. There is also a small den for just one person with a comfortable sofa bed. In the back of the media room you can access a utility room with laundry facilities. It is on this level that you can access a small private courtyard and a huge screened-in sun room, featuring patio furniture. And not to forget: a small infrared sauna for two in the back corner. Our gem in the courtyard, which we are very proud of, is a most wonderful blog house sauna. We promise an unforgettable sauna experience and welcome you to be our guest! Location Beach Heaven is located in the picturesque town of Port Mouton, approximately 10 km south of the historic town of Liverpool. Situated on a 2-acre oceanfront property, it overlooks the sparkling waters of Port Mouton Bay. A short stroll through the garden and over the dunes will take you onto Wobemkak beach. From here it’s a short 10 minute walk to Carters Beach – famous for its white sands. There are 5 other stunning beaches in the immediate vicinity of Beach Heaven and all are easily accessible: Summerville Beach, Hunts Point Beach, South West Port Mouton Beach, Kejimkujik National Park Seaside beaches and White Point Beach. Kejimkujik Seaside has a couple of hiking trails and abundance of wildlife. The picturesque town of Liverpool, once the privateering capital of Nova Scotia is just 10 minutes’ drive from Beach Haven. Here you will find museums and fine dining, live music and nightlife, grocery shopping, a craft brewery and opportunities to do some browsing through boutique shops, galleries and bookshops.

Description: Our vineyards are planted on the steeply sloped valley walls above Bear River, a tidal estuary that flows into the Annapolis Basin. Mostly south-facing, they overlook the stunning vistas of the valley in a sun-drenched amphitheatre. It is believed that vines were first planted in Bear River by French settlers in 1611. The winery is housed in a masterfully renovated bank barn that was built in 1883. The unique four-and-a-half-storey design of the barn allows for a primarily gravity-fed winemaking process. The main level of the winery houses the tasting bar and wine shop. From its soaring beamed ceiling to the herringbone slate floor, it is the perfect place to enjoy our 100% estate-grown and -bottled wines while surrounded by understated elegance. Tastings available from 11am to 6pm daily, June to September and 11am to 6pm Thursday through Sunday until October 12. We offer vineyard and winery tours on request. Stay with us! Stay within our working winery in our well-appointed guest suite, offering all the amenities you need to make your stay a relaxing experience. The guest suite includes a queen bed, a beautiful ensuite with heated flooring, and is equipped with a compact fridge and microwave. Enjoy the stunning view overlooking the vineyard and, of course, a bottle of Bear River wine! Visit the winery’s website to learn more and to book June to September.

Description: Located in close proximity to the Nova Scotia Visitor Centre (Amherst), these National Historic Sites were designated for their rich archaeological resources, the large 18th-century Acadian village that was once present here, and their pivotal role in the struggle between French and British empires for the control of the Isthmus of Chignecto region. The sites boast walking trails, a large shelter with picnic tables, a great view of the Cumberland Basin, and interpretive panels on the Mi’kmaw, Acadian, French and British presence in the area. These sites are open year-round, but there is no maintenance in winter so access may be limited.
Period of operation: Open year-round
Hours of Operation: No maintenance or services in winter.

Description: Tucked just outside Halifax in the welcoming community of Beaver Bank, Beaver Bank Station Bar & Grill is one of those places that feels like a local secret you are glad you discovered. Set inside a historic building that dates back to the 1800s, the restaurant blends old Nova Scotia character with a refreshed, modern pub atmosphere that instantly feels warm and inviting. From the moment you walk in, the space carries a relaxed and friendly energy. It is the kind of place where families gather for dinner, friends meet for drinks, and visitors end up staying longer than planned. With multiple dining areas including a cozy lounge and additional upstairs space, it works just as well for a quiet meal as it does for a lively evening out. What truly defines Beaver Bank Station Bar and Grill is its focus on approachable and satisfying food done right. The menu brings together classic Canadian and pub style favorites with a few creative touches. Guests can enjoy everything from hearty burgers and sandwiches to seafood chowder, ribs, flatbread pizzas, and comforting dishes like poutine and crispy appetizers. The portions are generous, the flavors are familiar yet well executed, and the experience is built around consistency and comfort. Locals often return for popular favorites like chicken club sandwiches, loaded fries, and flavorful appetizers such as Thai chicken bites or peri peri fries. Whether you are stopping in for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the menu offers something for everyone, including lighter options and vegetarian choices. Beyond the food, the restaurant has become a social hub for the community. Live music nights, trivia, and regular events create an atmosphere that feels lively without being overwhelming. During warmer months, the patio offers a relaxed outdoor setting that adds to the overall experience. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff focused on making every guest feel comfortable and welcome. This genuine hospitality is a big part of what makes the restaurant stand out, especially for visitors exploring beyond downtown Halifax. Beaver Bank Station is not trying to be a fine dining destination. Instead, it succeeds by being authentic, comfortable, and consistently enjoyable.

For anyone looking to explore beyond the typical tourist spots, this restaurant provides a refreshing change of pace.

Description: Below The Salt Distillery is an ultra small batch, top shelf distillery producing spirits of exceptional quality and distinction. Established in 2022, Below the Salt has earned four prestigious international awards for its rums and two Canadian awards for its distilled braggot in its first year and a half! The distillery emphasizes the use of local ingredients: traditional floor-malted grains from Horton Ridge in the Annapolis Valley and local honey from Antigonish County. The organic dehydrated cane syrup comes from Central and South America. Below the Salt proudly produces everything in-house from scratch without blends, adjuncts or imported spirits. Captain Gregg Colp has been distilling for forty years, and through his extensive travels as a sea captain, is privileged to have honed his craft from those who have generously shared their knowledge in the Caribbean and Europe. Tasting Room Below the Salt’s tasting room offers a cozy environment with a patio showcasing a captivating view of Cape Breton Island. Owners Vicki or Gregg’s educational flight tastings are fun informative and down to earth – garnering rave reviews from visitors. Guests have the opportunity to learn about the distillery’s process and the stories behind the labels. A large inviting farmhouse table encourages visitors to meet and share stories of their own adventures. Come for a taste – stay for the view – leave with stories in a bottle Hours of operation January – March: open by appointment April – May: open Friday through Sunday, 2 – 6pm; by appointment – Monday through Thursday June – October: open Tuesday through Sunday, 2 – 6pm November – December: open Friday through Sunday 2 – 6pm; by appointment Monday through Thursday Below the Salt products Even if you have never liked vodka, our Northern European style vodka, Highland Tears Vodka can change your mind. Made with grain from Horton Ridge, it is smooth with the lingering sweetness of the grain, making this velvety sipper is the perfect accompaniment to any seafood dish. The Highland Tears Spruce Tip Gin is made with Horton Ridge grain and all the standard botanicals one would expect from a classic London Gin. It’s light on the juniper to allow the spruce room to sing. A gorgeous sipper that can be enjoyed all on its own or in your favourite cocktail. L’Ardois JaQ Marc de Canne is an unfiltered light rum that is known as an Agricole in the French Caribbean, or a Cachaca in Brazil. With a smooth smoky finish it works well as a tequila but is so smooth it can be savoured on its own. Below the Salt is proud to have been awarded a Bronze medal iin 2024 at the Global Rum and Cachaca Masters. They are the sole distillery outside of the Caribbean to win an award in this category ! Rhumb Line Amber Rum is a Jamaican style rum with all the fruitiness you would expect. The taste says pot still. Again, a smooth sipper that also makes amazing cocktails. Trois Capitaines Merchant Navy Rum earned two silver awards in 2024 right up there with brands like Worthy Park and Mount Gay ! A traditionally overproof rum, this is a true digestif with wonderful mouth feel and a smooth chocolatey finish. Shield Maiden Distilled Braggot is in a class of its own. Unique in the world, this is the true drink of the Vikings. Made from ale and local honey, then fermented distilled and aged in French Oak this is a cross between a single malt whiskey and a fine cognac. This was the first product we came out with and remains our biggest seller. Earned two medals from the Canadian Craft Distillers. Below the Salt Distillery is a member of Taste of Nova Scotia.

Description: Adventures in Off-Grid Living Birchdale offers a unique experience in a remote area of Nova Scotia, perfect for day trips during our Birchdale Afternoons and overnight stays in our cabins. Situated on 58 acres, the property sits at the mouth of four connected lakes, that link the Atlantic Ocean to Birchdale. Surrounding lands are owned and protected by the Province of NS. The Birchdale Hunting and Fishing lodge was built in 1911, by Omar Roberts, with oxen hauling felled trees across the frozen lakes. For the next 60 years, guides led visiting hunters and fishermen through pristine waterways and woods Visitors from home and abroad created a treasure trove of historical photographs and legendary signings of the guest ledger. In the 1970s, Birchdale was purchased by Carmelite monks and became the Nova Nada Monastery. The monks added to the original buildings, with more cabins, a large two-storey building housing a woodwork shop, kitchen, and large storage area, and the library/sanctuary that overlooks the lake. The monastery operated for 25 years. Today, there are 6 cabins offered for accommodations, they are situated around the edge of the lake with propane hot water heaters, bathrooms with showers, wood burning stoves, and three also have fireplaces. The main cooking facility is located at the lodge. There is limited electrical power provided by an on-site generator to the main lodge, and workshop. Birchdale is located at the end of a 13 kilometre (8 mile) dirt road.

Description: In 1977, as young Nova Scotia College of Art and Design graduates, we started Birdsall-Worthington Pottery Ltd. in the beautiful seaside town of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. We make a full line of functional and decorative earthenware pottery using a local Nova Scotian clay. We are known for creating custom made commemorative plates for births, weddings, anniversaries and other important life events. We make each plate entirely by hand on the wheel in our Mahone Bay studio. We also make a line of delicate clay jewelry again made entirely by hand in our studio. As studio potters, we have come to see this creative process as a metaphor for life. We believe that a creative life is a spiritual practice.

Description: The Black Loyalist Heritage Centre, located within the Black Loyalist Heritage Site in Birchtown on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, shares the story of the Black Loyalists – free men and women who fought for the British during the American Revolution and won their freedom. In the late 18th century, Birchtown was the largest free Black community in British North America, making it the center of the Black Loyalist experience in Canada. Its founding represented a turning point in the history of persons of African descent in Canada. Since Spring 2015, the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre has taken visitors on an immersive journey through the life of some of the earliest Black settlers who left the United States and settled in Nova Scotia in the 1780s – and for some, traveled back to Africa. Visitors can also trace their heritage through the names in the Book of Negroes, a document containing the names of the Black Loyalists who won their freedom by taking up arms for the British. In Spring 2026, the “Black Loyalists in Canada: Autonomy, Advocacy, Community, Legacy” collection, which is jointly held by the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre, the Nova Scotia Archives, the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, and the Shelburne County Museum, was added to UNESCO’s Canada Memory of the World Register which recognizes documentary heritage of national significance. The heritage site also includes: National Historic Monument of Canada – located on the Black Burial Grounds – honouring the landing of the Black Loyalists in Canada in 1783; St. Paul’s Church (circa 1888); and the Old School House Museum, a one-room school house built in the 1830s and home to artifacts from archaeological digs and items donated and loaned to the museum. You can also stroll along the Black Loyalist Heritage Trail, a 1.5 km trail with interpretive panels, which takes you to the Black Burial Ground. Site amenities include a gift shop, public washrooms, parking and picnic area. The facility is wheelchair accessible. Bus tours are welcome. The Black Loyalist Heritage Site is located less than 10 kilometres away from the town of Shelburne where parts of the BET and CBC-produced Book of Negroes miniseries was filmed.
