What is there to do in Nova Scotia?
>From its historic roots with New England, Nova Scotia is perhaps
the best known of the four Atlantic Canada Provinces. Its key is
its variety. There
are so many faces to Nova Scotia, that one visit can not reveal
them all. Almost surrounded by water, it has several different
coasts. The mighty Atlantic has long battered the many villages
reliant on the sea. In fact, Nova Scotia once led the world, in
the Age of Sail.
With New Brunswick, it shares the Bay of Fundy, with its
abundant marine life and the world's highest tides. Nova Scotia
also has a northern shore. This warm watered and sandy coast
shares characteristics with Prince Edward Island.
Cape Breton Island lies at the province's eastern end. Here is
the home of Scottish culture in the New World. This island is
considered one of the finest touring destinations in the world.
>From its far eastern end two ferries run to Newfoundland.
Colorful and cultured - delight in the sights and sounds of Cape
Breton Island and the Cabot Trail. Explore the famous Fortress
Louisbourg and join with the guests from the 21st century and
meet the residents of 1744 New France throughout this
captivating Fortress. The root of Canada's technical and
industrial age can be found throughout the Sydney area. Discover
Marconi...Marconi National Historic Site, where the Wizard of
Wireless ushered in the new age of global communication. The
island is possessed with a gentle beauty; on one side, the
mountains...on the other side, the sea. Follow through a land of
pristine coastal beauty - where the past is a colorful part of
everyday life.
Nova Scotia's western and southern seaports provide a world of
charming, photogenic Lighthouses, hidden coves with fine-sand
beaches, and rugged cliffs with views that are picture-postcard
perfect. It allows you to trace the coastline (which in Nova
Scotia stretches for more than 7,400 kilometers) as you rest at
welcoming country inns, soaking up their historic ambiance and
enjoying the tales of innkeepers. A sample itinerary might
include three nights at Halifax, two nights at Lunenburg, and
one night each at Annapolis Royal and Wolfville.
Magnificently mixing past and present, Halifax has 250 years of
seafaring lore. A port city is always exciting and this one
lives up to it in so many ways. Cheerful harbor-front and
sidewalk cafes and shops offer good food, good times and a
Casino that wants you to play. The music's all ready to reach
dancing volume! They're just waiting for you so the show can
begin. Spend some time in its cosmopolitan neighborhoods and
you'll see why sailors come ashore for a while.
