This proud community’s very essence is founded on Acadian and fishery heritage and traditions. Listen closely for the “patois Acadien” spoken in the villages: this is actually a 400 year old dialect from northern France. Not to worry though, all are also fluent in English, and graciously welcome you to the Pubnicos.

Village Historique Acadien de la Nouvelle Écosse: a living history village features pre-1920 Acadie activities including dory-making, turning the fog horn, and harvesting salt hay.
Musée Acadien & Research Centre: a collection of artifacts and historical and genealogical documents in an 1864 homestead. Participate in Acadian workshops that take you back in time.
Pubnico Wind Farm: Take a walk below these 17 massive windmills, their names written at the base of each tower, which overlook the rocky coast of the Pubnico Harbour.
Golf: The West Pubnico Golf & Country Club has one of the longest golfing seasons in Canada, from March through to November. This 18-hole course is one of the “Affordable Four” that this region is proud to showcase.
