Eastern Shore
Nova Scotia has many exciting and beautiful destinations to visit with the Eastern Shore being a highly popular location within this stunningly beautiful Canadian province. The Eastern Shore runs along the Atlantic Coast line from the Halifax Harbour in the north east to the Strait of Canso, which is at the eastern end of the peninsula.
With a breathtaking landscape of beaches, rivers, lakes, and an oasis of Nova Scotia’s smaller islands, the Eastern Shore is a dramatic natural paradise teeming with a variety of wildlife, marine life, and plant life. Further added benefits of making this your vacation destination are that it is not very populated and there are always things to do no matter what time of the year you visit. The undulating waves of Lawrencetown Beach have made it a supreme Mecca amongst surfers and windsurfers, while extreme sports junkies can take to the Musquodoboit River where they can indulge their passion for white water rafting and canoeing. The numerous sea parks around the coastline make it possible to pursue a number of leisure activities such as hiking, biking, and golf, while the beautiful sandy beaches pose as ideal venues to enjoy some world-class fly fishing or picnics with the family.
The Eastern Shore may be a recreational haven for many travellers, but on the days the weather does not behave and interrupts your plans, the good news is that there are many other amenities to enjoy during your visit. The Eastern Shore has a rich and enduring history with this displayed prominently at Sherbrooke Village, which was used predominantly as a lumbering and shipbuilding community in the 1860s. Other must-see attractions include the museums of Goldboro and Goldenville where travellers will learn more about the gold mining industry of Nova Scotia.
