Our Communities

Small town charm and an authentic East Coast lifestyle is what you will experience in Antigonish. Experience our serene coast along the shores of Antigonish by following the Sunrise Trail into Arisaig and around Cape George. This trail is a favourite for cyclists looking for a challenge, motorcycle enthusiasts, and for those who love to roll the windows down and smell the fresh salt air. While on this peaceful and relaxing drive, stop and visit the many wharves, lighthouses, look-offs, beaches, hiking trails, and other local treasures along the way. This coastal gem is among the province’s most scenic drives offering views that will capture your heart. Once you finish the blissful drive and it is adventure you are now seeking, head to The Keppoch and enjoy the multi-use trail system for year-round fun. If local fare is what you’re after, there are many options for you to try. Whether it’s taking in the view at Arisaig while enjoying a lobster roll, a casual drink on a patio, a seafood spread, or if fine dining is more your scene, Antigonish has it all.
