Experiences
Experience a whole new world of adventure in Southwest Nova Scotia!
We invite you to marvel at our “eighth wonder of the world;” the highest tides on earth, or escape for an afternoon on the ocean and meet the many whales, seals, dolphins and seabirds that call our region home. Relax on one of the white sandy beaches that trace our hundreds of kilometres of coastline and visit the picturesque lighthouses that have cautioned sailors for centuries. Take in the fresh air while you hike our many trails and wilderness backcountry or enjoy a picnic along a meandering river or at one of our glorious parks. Perhaps you’re a history buff and would like to step back in time and witness the expulsion of the Acadians, or learn about the first settlers to the area at one of our National Historic Sites. Our museums and heritage centres document and celebrate more than 10,000 years of life here.
Whether you’re an expert or a beginner, our scenic golf courses will test your abilities. Explore the acres of spectacular gardens the region features, exhibiting everything from rhododendrons to daisies. Take in a performance at one of the theatres in the area and experience our local talent. Perhaps the culinary arts are more your flavour; treat your taste buds to one of our local dishes at one of our many fine dining establishments where rappie pie, Lunenburg sausage and sauerkraut are on the menu. Spend a day touring the local vineyards learning about the art of grape growing and wine tasting and don’t forget to stop and visit one of our art shops and galleries featuring everything from homespun sweaters and quilts to abstract paintings. Experience it all in Southwest Nova Scotia.
