Discover Nova Scotia

Home to the world-famous Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island offers breathtaking highland scenery, Celtic culture, and some of the most spectacular coastal drives in North America. Discover rugged wilderness, traditional music, and warm Highland hospitality.

Nova Scotia's vibrant capital city blends maritime heritage with modern urban culture. From the historic waterfront to bustling downtown core, Halifax offers world-class dining, shopping, nightlife, and cultural attractions.

Nova Scotia's South Shore strings together iconic lighthouses, fishing villages, and white-sand beaches along the scenic Lighthouse Route. Highlights include Peggy's Cove, the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg, and the historic port of Liverpool. It's classic Maritime Canada — fresh lobster, wave-battered granite coastline, and picture-perfect harbours.

Home to the world's highest tides, the Bay of Fundy is a natural wonder of epic proportions. Explore dramatic coastal cliffs, fossil-rich shores, charming fishing villages, and witness tides that rise and fall up to 16 metres twice daily along Nova Scotia's Fundy Shore. For US travelers, the CAT ferry from Bar Harbor arrives in Yarmouth just 90 minutes from the Fundy shore - the easiest US-to-Fundy routing, with 86% of CAT bookings originating in the United States.

Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia is the province's wine country and agricultural heartland, framed by the world's highest tides on the Bay of Fundy. Explore award-winning wineries around Wolfville, hike Cape Blomidon for sweeping Fundy views, browse farmers' markets bursting with local produce, and walk the Grand-Pré UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether you're tasting Tidal Bay wines, hunting for fossils on the Minas Basin cliffs, or cycling the Harvest Moon Trail, the Annapolis Valley delivers the province's most rewarding food, wine, and outdoor experiences within a 90-minute drive of Halifax.

The Northumberland Shore faces Prince Edward Island across the Northumberland Strait and boasts the warmest saltwater beaches north of the Carolinas — think Caribou, Melmerby, and Heather beaches. It's Anne of Green Gables territory (the PEI ferry sails from Caribou), with Tatamagouche, Pictou, and blueberry country inland. Family-friendly swimming and gentle tides define the summer experience.

The Eastern Shore is Nova Scotia's wild, off-the-beaten-path Atlantic coastline running east from Halifax. It's home to the pristine 100 Wild Islands archipelago, world-class sea kayaking, and quiet sand beaches at Taylor Head and Clam Harbour. Expect lobster suppers, scenic coastal drives, and some of the province's least-crowded shoreline.

This UNESCO World Heritage site enchants visitors with its well-preserved colonial architecture, vibrant harbor, and rich maritime history. Experience authentic seafaring culture in one of Canada's most beautiful coastal towns.
