Stretching over a kilometer, the soft white sand and turquoise waters make it perfect for beachcombing, swimming, and relaxing. During the summer, the beach is home to piping plovers, a small and endangered shorebird species that nests along the sand.
There are three public access points to Crescent Beach in Lockeport. An accessible ramp is located at the Visitor Beach Centre, a steeper ramp is at the opposite end, and stair access is available midway.
At one end of the beach, you’ll find the Crescent Beach Centre — a visitor hub offering washrooms, showers, change rooms, free Wi-Fi, and interpretive displays about the town’s heritage and marine life. For enhanced access, especially for guests with mobility needs, there’s a fully accessible beach entrance and a beach-mobility wheelchair available upon request.

Situated on the shores of the Bay of Fundy, Cresthaven provides one of the finest examples of Maitland’s elegant historic homes that has made the village Nova Scotia’s first Heritage Conservation District.

Cresthaven was built in the Classical Revival Style by Captain John Macomber in 1859.

Sunrises and sunsets are always breathtaking. Experience the power of Fundy and go tidal bore rafting. Revisit the golden age of shipbuilding at the Lawrence House Museum. Visit local artists, and walk on the ocean floor where the world’s highest tides were recorded.

- Description: Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails offer 18 km of wilderness hiking trails arranged in a number of loops. The trails access the Waverley Salmon River Long Lake Wilderness Area east of metropolitan Halifax. Being situated within a wilderness area, the Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails allow users to enjoy scenic vistas and unspoiled lakes and waterways.
The trail is constructed across a rugged granite ridge landscape and, as such, offers a demanding challenge. The multiple loops of the trail allow for various routes of increasing challenge and can range from 1 hour to a full day to navigate.
Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails is accessed from a sole trailhead with a parking lot that is located at 1800 Myra Road in Porter’s Lake.
The Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails are comprised of the following trails:
The Pond: 800 meters
Porters Lake Loop: 2.2 km
Spriggs Brook Trail (to bridge and back): 5.8 km
Spriggs Brook Trail (to West Lake junction and back): 9.2 km
West Lake Loop: 13.5 km
Salmon River Loop + Lookoff Loop: 18 km
Porters Lake Loop
From the trail head at Myra Road, the trail climbs gradually through mixed forest and skirts a beautiful small lake, with boardwalk and a bench at about 400m. From here, hikers can complete the 2.2 km Porters Lake Loop, which begins and ends at the lake. Views from the top of this loop reveal Porters Lake and its eastern slopes. Part of the forest here and elsewhere along the trial system bear dramatic evidence of Hurricane Juan.
Spriggs Brook Trail
From the crest of Porters Lake Loop, hikers may continue west, 1.5 km, to the bridge at Spriggs Brook, and another 1 km to Granite Lake. The route offers views of distant Granite Lake and Stillwater sections of Spriggs Brook, and passes through older, mixed pine forest showing scars of long-ago forest fires.
West Lake Loop
For the more adventurous, the trail continues past Granite Lake to the West Lake Loop. The fist view of West Lake is about 450m west of Granite Lake, from the top of a large, barren hill-top. From this hill, hikers can travel about 4 km around the West Lake Loop, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This loop offers intimate views of the lake and more expansive views from high granite exposures.
Salmon River Loop
The most ambitious route extends West Lake Loop, westward, to Salmon River and Crowbar Lake. Watch for trail junctions at the northwest and southwest ends of West Lake Loop. Traveling counter-clockwise, hikers will climb a large hill northwest of West Lake, onto a jack pine barren. The barren reveals an expansive landscape of wilderness forest and lakes, looking northwest, towards crowbar and Salmon River Long Lakes. The trail then descends to Crowbar Lake through older spruce-hemlock forest.
At Crowbar Lake, the trail follows the scenic salmon River, downstream, and then along Otter Lake. Once past Otter Lake, the trail swings back towards West Lake, with a choice of two routes. The longer route offers additional, high viewpoints. Once back at the junction with the West Lake Loop, don’t miss the exquisite “Crows Nest” viewpoint off a granite knob right above that junction.
Please note
This is a wilderness trail and there are no amenities along the trail or at the trailhead. Cell phone coverage is spotty depending on the terrain and service provider. Leave only footprints, take only photos and memories.
Crowbar Lake Hiking Trails is not maintained during the winter months; expect icy conditions.
Some hikers, anglers and hunters have traditionally accessed the Salmon River Trail and Look-off Loop near Otter Lake from River Drive in Lake Echo. River Drive is a private road, not maintained, and open only to local traffic. There is no trailhead there; please use the trailhead on Myra Road.

History of the Pictou Customs House
The Pictou Customs House was built for the federal government circa 1873 according to designs by Halifax architects Stirling and Dewar. Located on what was originally a spit of land in close proximity to the major wharves, the building was built to house the offices of the Customs and Immigration branch of the federal government. The Second Empire structure features a double façade looking out to the harbour and in to the town. The building also had a tower overlooking the waterfront. The massive building was a forceful statement made by the federal government of a young country, an indelible imprint on the town’s streetscape.
The customs house just happened to be properly aligned with the Pictou Bar Lighthouse. The Department of Marine received permission to exhibit navigational lights from its tower. The department’s report for 1878 provides the following information on the customs house:
“A range light has been placed during last summer in the tower of the new Custom House, just above the railway station, in the Town of Pictou. It is a fixed white. The light is shewn by means of three argand gas-burners, each having 25 jets – two furnished with 15-inch reflectors, shews seaward, and one with a 12-inch reflector, shews across the harbor to southward. The light is under charge of the keeper of the Custom House building.”

- Description: Rug Hooking Changes People
So many times I have heard people say that rug hooking changed them. As they started rug hooking they began to see the world differently, started noticing beauty around them. Hooking rugs allowed them to express themselves, to use their time wisely and creatively, and opened up a whole new community of people to them. Rug hooking is full of possibilities. It has changed my life, and been a powerful force in changing the lives of the people I have met through it over these twenty five years.

- Description: The Delaps Cove Wilderness Trail system consists of two separate nature trails – Bohaker Trail, a 2.2 km loop (approximately one hour walk), and Charlies Trail, a 1.9 km loop. This trail system is located on the shores of the Bay of Fundy in Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, just 24 kms from historic Annapolis Royal.
Both trails are linked by the Shore Road Trail (2.7 km one way to Charlies Trail). The return walk to and from Charlies Trail will take approximately 3-4 hours.
The Trail meanders through 130 acres of canopied forests. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the natural splendour of the area and breathe in the briny, salt air that surrounds the windswept coastline of the Bay of Fundy. As well as being a great place to hike, the trail provides opportunities for bird watching and photography.
Be mindful of the weather and sea conditions. There are high cliffs in spots and the rocks can be slippery, small children should be kept close.
One of Annapolis County’s most popular trail systems and visited by locals and visitors from a far. The trails have it all, beautiful forest trails that emerge along the Bay of Fundy for a walk along the coastline, a waterfall, and so much more. The area is rich with history and nature. A must see on anyone’s list.
For more information on the trail system please visit our website at AnnapolisCounty.ca

- Description: Demeter Farm offers a peaceful U-Pick experience among our carefully nurtured Honeyberry bushes (also known as Haskap) in the heart of Nova Scotia. Honeyberry is not a type of blueberry — it’s a completely unique super-berry with a rich, tangy-sweet flavour and a deep purple color. It contains several times more antioxidants and vitamins than most other berries, making it a true superfood.
Guests can enjoy picking their own berries or purchase fresh pre-picked pints at our roadside stand. Our farm is spray-free, calm, and ideal for those looking to reconnect with nature through a healthy, hands-on experience.
Due to the delicate nature of our young plants, the farm welcomes visitors aged 14 and up.
Visit our website or facebook for updates on picking conditions, berry availability, and farm guidelines.

- Description: A Must‑Taste Experience for Visitors to Halifax
Discover Chinese Cooking Beyond Expectations
Traveling to Halifax isn’t just about ocean views and historic streets—it’s also about discovering unforgettable flavors. DeVilla Wok/ Fruinkazan offers visitors a rare chance to experience authentic Chinese fire cooking, the kind normally found deep in China’s night markets and food streets—not overseas adaptations.
For travelers seeking something bold, cultural, and memorable, this is a dining stop that leaves a lasting impression.
Why It Matters to Halifax Visitors
For many visitors, this is their first real taste of traditional Chinese fire cuisine:
Charcoal-grilled lamb skewers, smoky with cumin and chili, recreating the energy of China’s street food culture
Authentic Sichuan wok dishes, cooked over roaring flames with numbing spice and deep aroma—an experience rarely found outside China
100% pork-free menu, making it welcoming for Muslim travelers and diverse international guests
This is not Western-style Chinese food. It’s an immersive cultural experience—flavors, heat, and atmosphere that tell a story.
A Cultural Memory, Not Just a Meal
From the crackle of charcoal to the lingering spice that follows you back into the Halifax night, every dish creates a memory. Visitors gain more than a meal—they take home a story of global culture discovered in Atlantic Canada.
If you’re visiting Halifax and want more than seafood, experience the fire, the spice, and the soul of authentic Chinese street cuisine.

- Description: Janet makes a wide variety of functional and artistic pottery pieces both on the wheel and handbuilt. She loves using unconventional textures, including pieces from nature, to make the surface of platters and dishes come alive. She designs many Maritime themed pieces that highlight the beautiful Atlantic seascape, including fish platters, wave patterns and shells – even mermaids! Her pottery features a unique combining of glazes resulting in vibrant colours making each mug, bowl, plate or even gnome absolutely one of a kind. Her studio is her happy place and her hope is that that joy shines through in each piece.
As a former educator, it brings me great joy to teach pottery to adults from my studio which is housed in a 200+ year old barn right in the heart of historic Shelburne. It is a place of inspiration, creativity and lots of laughter!

- Description: Explore the warm waters of Northumberland Strait aboard an authentic Nova Scotia lobster fishing boat, guided by a seasoned Northumberland fisherman, with Discover the Strait Boat Tours.
As fishing season transitions to summer on the Northumberland Strait, our fishermen turn their boats into pleasure crafts, offering experiences from SightSEAing boat tours and incredible sunset cruises to Pictou Island adventures and our delicious Love Lobster tours.
All Discover The Strait boat tours take place on spacious 45 foot Northumberland fishing boats and are equipped with shade cover and washrooms. All tours are limited to 10 passengers per boat and adhere to Transport Canada’s safety regulations, ensuring a memorable and safe experience on the Northumberland Strait.
Our fishermen captains welcome you to be part of their traditions with a Discover the Strait boat tour.
Location
We operate out of two locations:
Caribou Fisherman’s Wharf – 119 Fisherman Rd, Pictou, NS B0K 1H0
Toney River Wharf – 4 Toney River Wharf Rd, River John, NS B0K 1N0
Our Tours
Each Discover the Strait tour begins at a real working fishing wharf, where you’ll meet your captain and receive a safety briefing before setting sail on your chosen adventure.
SightSEAing Tour
Sit back and take in the beautiful coastline peppered with sandy beaches, sea life, tree lines, quaint homes and authentic Nova Scotia villages. Your captain will share some local insights as you cruise along the Northumberland Strait.
Mackerel Fishing Tour
Your captain will navigate the Northumberland Strait in pursuit of schools of mackerel, while you soak in the sights of Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore. They’ll target prime spots, equip you with all the gear, and offer expert guidance to reel in some tasty mackerel. It’s an ideal fishing adventure for kids and beginners alike.
Fish n’ Chips Sunset Cruise
Savour a Northumberland Sunset while dining on classic Nova Scotia fish and chips! Cruise into Pictou Harbour and relish in a Nova Scotia tradition as your dinner is delivered directly to the boat from a local waterfront favourite. Then, sail back, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun over the Northumberland coastline.
Northumberland Sunset Cruise
Enjoy the serene beauty of the Northumberland coastline as the sun sets over the horizon. Witness how it colours the sky and water, signaling the end of another day on Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore.
Pictou Island Sea & Sand Tour
Cruise to your adventure on Pictou Island! Drop anchor off a secluded sandy beach. Paddle board, swim or snorkel from the boat. Explore an expansive stretch of serene sandy shoreline. Hunt for sea glass, sand dollars and seashells. Dock alongside fishing and pleasure boats at the Pictou Island Wharf and explore nearby island features by foot or rent a bike. You can even learn to Mackerel fish!
Love Lobster Tour
Ever wonder how to catch a lobster? Cruise to your captain’s fishing grounds where they will haul a lobster trap from the ocean floor, and share a lifetime of knowledge about fishing on the Northumberland Strait. Try your hand at hauling a lobster trap up over the gunwales or experience the thrill of taking the helm. Then, enjoy a delicious lobster roll lunch as you cruise Nova Scotia’s scenic north shore coastline.
Lobster Fishermen for a Day
Board a working Northumberland Strait lobster fishing boat for a full day of lobster fishing. Observe the captain and his crew pushing traps up the washboard, measuring and picking lobsters, baiting traps, and banding lobster. You won’t leave this experience empty handed or empty hearted. Your captain will send you home with two live tasty Northumberland Strait lobsters, and a deep understanding of their culture and traditions.

Located on the beautiful Halifax waterfront, the Discovery Centre features five state-of-the-art themed galleries for all ages, Atlantic Canada’s only immersive Dome Theatre, a maker space innovation lab, and a featured exhibits gallery that changes three times annually. Be awestruck by live science demonstrations, meet local sea creatures, and get carried away in a giant body bubble.
Experience all the Discovery Centre has to offer:
Indigenous Ingenuity: Pjilaʼsi, welcome.
Explore Discovery Centre’s newest featured exhibit. Indigenous peoples from North America have long demonstrated a great sense of ingenuity, using nature as inspiration. The world we know today is influenced by their innovations and scientific knowledge. The exhibition invites visitors to experience the innovative processes that give rise to Indigenous knowledge by observing, listening, experimenting, and sharing.
Dome Theatre: Marvel at the wonders of the world and beyond in our immersive Dome Theatre. With live star shows and full dome films, you can explore the vastness of space, discover ancient remnants of a star or experience the best seats to a meteor shower.
Innovation Lab: Tinker with code, turn a circuit into a work of art, or admire at our 3D printers at work! It’s a space for exploring new ideas and rethinking old ones, all while developing the skills that drive innovation.
Ocean Gallery: Dive into topics like the Water Cycle, Climate Change, Ocean Exploration, and Marine Ecosystems. The Murphy Ocean Gallery will provide you with a deeper understanding of how the ocean impacts us and how we impact the ocean, in a fun and interactive way.
Energy Gallery: Discover energy in many forms – electrical, chemical, nuclear, and kinetic –while seeing science in action when interacting with imaginative, hands-on exhibits.
Health Gallery: Be inspired with a holistic understanding of how your brain and body works. Interactive exhibits and local, cutting-edge technology show how we can thrive in the 21st century in a new brain-body partnership that responds to today’s world.
Flight Gallery: Learn about the forces of flight – lift, weight, thrust and drag. Design and flight test your own planes, make objects hover mid-air, investigate a real aircraft, and practice flying first-hand with incredibly realistic simulated flight experiences.
Children’s Gallery: A magical place for toddlers and young children to imagine, invent, discover and learn in a safe, full-bodied play environment.
Visitors can explore the Discovery Centre independently, but our friendly facilitators are always ready to showcase live science demos, answer questions, and make your visit memorable. We welcome group tours, with discounts available to groups of 10 or more who book in advance.

- Description: The grand old building which is home to The Dockside Inn & Restaurant was erected in 1901. It was originally the home of W.C. Smith and Co. – the fishing enterprise which evolved into National Sea Products Ltd. From this commanding waterfront location, the company’s operation of the lucrative fishing industry was managed.
The building still retains its two built-in safes embedded in the concrete corner section. One of the safes can be seen in the Old Town Restaurant. Our restaurant pays tribute to many of the icons of Lunenburg’s rich heritage including the replica of the HMS Bounty built in Lunenburg, the Schooner Bluenose, and the era of the Railroad.
Dining in history is further complimented by an extensive menu of maritime favourites. Seafood dishes and original recipes prepared in the “homemade” tradition have made The Dockside a preferred choice for both locals and visitors to our area. The Lobster tank assures fresh lobster and our “Feast of the Fishing Fleet Platter is not to be missed! Featuring lobster, scallops, haddock, salmon, and mussels, it is the perfect compliment to a hardy appetite.
Bus tours and large groups are welcomed. Whether old friends or new visitors, we look forward to serving you.
