SHERBROOKE TO HALF ISLAND COVE

As you make your way into this section of the Eastern Shore, you’ll find Nova Scotia’s largest museum site at Sherbrooke Village. Dating back to 1860 through to the First World War, you’ll walk through a typical Nova Scotian village in those times and gain a unique sense of history. Stroll the Main Street where you’ll find dining experiences in a relaxed atmosphere. As you continue along the shore, you’ll want to stop and capture more memories of beautiful St. Mary’s River.

Continue your journey by car, or a short ferry ride, where you’ll appreciate the natural wonders as you wind your way around the dips and bends in the road that give way to incredible coastal vistas. You may want to take along your rod because you’ll encounter several great fishing spots along the way. Plan to spend the night, enjoy the hospitality, and the view of a sunrise or a sunset along a hidden treasure of this shore.
