Downtown Dartmouth
Downtown Dartmouth has become a vibrant community filled with one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants, cozy cafés, craft beer and cider, patios with incredible views of the Halifax Harbour, public art and murals, beautiful parks, picnic spots, a supervised beach, and so much more.
Named one of Canada’s coolest neighbourhoods, this unique and quirky borough has something for everyone. Hop on the ferry and explore Downtown Dartmouth on foot or take a short drive over one of the Harbour Bridges - either way, the views are breathtaking. You haven’t seen the Halifax Harbour until you’ve seen it from both sides.
