Features & Highlights
Detailed Information
Bishop's Landing opened in 2003 as a 40,000-square-foot mixed-use complex at 1475 Lower Water Street, directly on the harbour at the south end of the Historic Properties district. The complex holds independent boutiques and restaurants across two levels, with windows and balconies that make the most of the harbour view, and it draws steady foot traffic off the boardwalk year-round.
Practical Information
Planning your visit to Bishop's Landing is refreshingly straightforward. This 40,000-square-foot waterfront complex is an open-access collection of independent restaurants and boutiques, meaning there are no admission fees or tickets required; you are free to explore at your own pace.

Parking: Several convenient options are available. Pay-by-plate parking is managed by HotSpot at the Bishop's Landing lot and the nearby Salter Lot.

CarShareHFX vehicles park for free in the pay-by-plate lots.
Accessibility: The complex is designed to be accessible for all visitors, featuring accessible entrances, designated parking near main entrances, and accommodations for strollers. Service animals are welcome throughout the property.
For the most current information on parking rates or specific retailer hours, it's always a good idea to check the official Bishop's Landing website before your visit.
The complex is best treated as a browsing destination: no admission, no booking, and a set of independent shops and places to eat rather than a single anchor attraction. Parking is the main planning consideration — the pay-by-plate lots fill on summer weekends, and street meters on Lower Water Street are free after 6 p.m. and on weekends.
