Historic & Picturesque LaHave Welcomes You


FORT POINT MUSEUM	MARINE MUSEUM	CRESCENT BEACH	LAHAVE BAKERY	RISSERS BEACH

LaHave is a historical and picturesque village nestled on the LaHave River and owes its name to Samuel de Champlain. Take the picturesque drive along the LaHave River’s east side and ride across the beautiful LaHave River on one of the last remaining cable ferries in Canada.

Stop at the LaHave Bakery for lunch or a scrumptious treat and learn about the rich history of the building in which the bakery operates. Make sure to take a journey downstairs to the LaHave Crafters Co-op before you leave and discover the unique works of art created by local artisans.

Just a short drive from the Bakery you will find a National Historic Site, the Fort Point LaHave Museum, where you will learn about life at the first capital of New France. Everyone is welcome at the Mi’kmaq Acadian Cultural Festival and Reunion in August! Enjoy traditional foods, cultural displays, fantastic entertainment, and more! If you’re in the LaHave area in early September, check out the delicious food and fabulous live entertainment at the LaHave River Folk Festival!

If it’s a warm day and the beach is calling your name, you will find two gorgeous white sand beaches less than a ten minute drive away. Rissers Beach and Crescent Beach are local favorites and are great places to cool off or just to take a relaxing stroll.
