The regions
Nova Scotia is a short flight from the Northeast and an easy place to explore by car. We plan the route, reserve inns with water views and arrange guides and boat outings, so you can take the coast at your own pace.
A lively harbor city with a historic waterfront, the Citadel and the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.
A tiny fishing village with one of Canada’s most photographed lighthouses, set on smooth granite above the Atlantic.
A UNESCO-listed seafaring town of brightly painted houses and wharves on the South Shore.
A loop of about 185 miles through the Cape Breton Highlands, with Celtic music, ocean cliffs and whale watching.
Home to the highest tides in the world, with tidal bore rafting, sea floor walks and fossil cliffs.
Salt air, lighthouses and a coast made for slow travel.
