Have you ever thought about coming to Nova Scotia on vacation?
If you have, you are not alone. With a reputation for stunning scenic beauty, clean air, delicious seafood and friendly people, it is not really all that surprising that Nova Scotia ranks highly on travellers wish-lists. I had wanted to visit Nova Scotia long before I moved here.
An Authentic Maritime Experience
Fishing and the sea shapes the way of life here, so you will find lighthouses, working wharfs and picturesque seaside villages. Seafood is a staple and restaurants serve freshly caught shellfish, lobster and haddock. The coastline is rugged with wild wind swept headlands, sheltered coves and long white sandy beaches. There are plenty of opportunities to get out and explore whether it be on land or sea. Lively festivals and musical events celebrate Nova Scotia’s history and culture.
The Locals
However, for all the outdoor activities, festivals and events that Nova Scotia has to offer; its people are its greatest treasure. Resourceful and community minded Nova Scotian’s are genuinely kind and friendly. The pace of life is slower, so people are often willing to sit, chat, laugh and share a story or two.
A vacation in Nova Scotia will leave you revitalized and perhaps wondering how you can make this magnificent province your home too.
So, if you are looking for relaxed seaside adventure then Nova Scotia’s South Shore is the place to come for your next vacation.

Didn’t see the glossy ibis reported by Alex, a local birder. […]

We explored numerous beaches; ate at Charlotte Lane Cafe; got out on the water; poked around Shelburne; watched a meteor shower and spied deer as they crept across the lawn. Our cottage was well equipped for entertaining and cooking and especially relaxing! In […]
“We All Slept Like Babies”
We had a very pleasant stay at the cottage this past week. The cottage was in very good condition and we are a little fussy. With new mattresses we all slept like babies. Our beaches in Ontario are fresh water so exploring the beach at the cottage was a treat especially at low tide. Thank […]
