Paddlers love the variety of waterways and exceptional paddling in Nova Scotia. Kayak along the Atlantic coast, winding in and out of inlets and along the islands of the Eastern or South Shores. The serene inland lakes and rivers of Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site are a kayaker’s dream. Dip your paddle in the waters of the Bay of Fundy, exploring ruddy cliffs that rise from the water. Throw your kayak on the roof and head to northern Cape Breton to marvel at the rugged coastline from sea level. Paddle the Bras d’Or Lake for an easy-going exploration of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, or launch your boat and explore a waterway of your choice.
Beaches
And if you’re riding Route 6 along the Northumberland Shore, take the Cape George Loop for a scenic detour. Route 3 along the South Shore winds through picture-perfect seaside communities and past beautiful beaches, all the way to Yarmouth. Route 7 on the Eastern Shore tracks along the coast from Dartmouth to Sherbrooke, with opportunities for beach pit stops to stretch your legs.
Kayaking
Coastal Hikes Take in the coast by lacing up for an incredible hike. Many trails follow the shoreline and offer incredible vistas and lookouts, so don’t forget your camera! In Cape Breton Highlands National Park, you’ll find Skyline, Aspy, Acadian, and Middle Head Trails, while the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail winds along the western coast of Cape Breton. The trail at Taylor Head Provincial Park shows off its unspoiled Atlantic coastline, while Cape Split is a day-long trek offering up amazing views of the Bay of Fundy. Harbour Rocks and Port Joli Head Trails in Kejimkujik National Park Seaside wind up at pristine, white sand beaches. And the trails in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park offer something for all skill levels—coastal views included. Discover the perfect trail for you and your favourite hiking buddies.
Nova Scotia Sea-ventures
Nova Scotia is famous for our beaches—not just for quantity, but for how many different types line our 13,300 kilometres of coastline. From lazy days splashing in the gentle waves at warm water beaches to surf lessons on the Atlantic coast, how many different beaches can you fit into your visit? Summerville, Lawrencetown, Martinique, Melmerby, Inverness and Mavillette are among the most popular, but there are many more to discover! Coastal Drives
When time allows, we always suggest motorists skip the highway and cruise along coastal routes. Of course, the world-famous Cabot Trail is an absolute must if you’re in Cape Breton. You’ll never forget the view as you wind your way through the Cape Breton highlands.
In Nova Scotia you’re never more than 60 kilometres from the ocean. Make the most of it with these incredible coastal adventures.
Rainbow Haven Beach Provincial Park Cabot Trail Skyline Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park Blue Rocks
Whale watching Summer and early fall are the best times to go whale watching. Head out on a tour in the Bay of Fundy or off the coast of Northern Cape Breton If you’re lucky, you’ll spot a few of the up-totwelve species of whales that visit the waters off Nova Scotia each year. Whether you join a tour aboard a fishing boat or a Zodiac-style watercra , your tour guides will share stories and information about these magnificent creatures.
Yarmouth Lawrencetown Beach Provincial Park Burntcoat Head Park Whale watching Cabot Cliffs Golf Course
Exploring the Bay of Fundy Did you know the Bay of Fundy’s Burntcoat Head Park has the highest recorded tides in the world? Visit the park during low tide to walk on the ocean floor. Just a few hours later, exactly where you were standing will be covered in ocean water! You can also head to Hall’s Harbour and watch fishing boats rise up as you tuck into fresh local seafood. Explore the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark with 30 geosites that tell the incredible story of this area, including its Indigenous heritage and geological significance. For something truly exhilarating, go tidal bore ra ing. Anything but boring, you’ll ride the swells where the incoming tide turns the Shubenacadie River into a white-water roller coaster.
Coastal Golf
You’ll find Canada’s only true links course in Inverness, on the southwest coast of Cape Breton. Cabot Cliffs at Cabot Cape Breton—along with its sister course, Cabot Links—have both been consistently noted as some of the best golfing in the world. Other coastal courses include Fox Harb’r Resort, the historic Highlands Links, and Northumberland Links. Tee up a package that includes golf and accommodation.
Coastal Communities Part of Nova Scotia’s coastal charm comes from the dozens of picturesque coastal and fishing communities that dot our coast. No matter where you travel in the province, you are sure to spend time in one of our coastal communities, big or small. From the port city of Halifax to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg; Inverness to Pictou, Sherbrooke to Yarmouth; Annapolis Royal to Mahone Bay and many, many more in between, these communities each have their own identity tied to the sea.
Surfing Many don’t realize that Nova Scotia offers up some of the best surfing on the East Coast—especially in the winter! If dipping into the Atlantic in January isn’t your style, take a surfing lesson during the summer months, or in the fall when the water temperatures are the warmest of the season. Just outside Halifax you’ll find surfers catching waves at Lawrencetown and Martinique Beaches. Sign up for a lesson with an experienced instructor. They’ll outfit you with a wetsuit and board, provide safety information and instruction—you’ll be hanging ten in no time.
Parks Canada Places
From under the stars to five stars.
Glamp in style Glamping domes or “glomes” as they are sometimes called, are popping up all over Nova Scotia. Reminiscent of igloos in shape only, glomes allow for natural light and privacy, and feature comfy beds, kitchens, and full bathrooms. You can spend your entire visit glome hopping in different regions of the province. Visit Archer’s Edge Luxury Camping and True North Destinations in Cape Breton, Port Wade Glamping Domes, Gravity Luxury Domes and Valley Sky Luxury Camping in Bay of Fundy & Annapolis Valley, and the Lakeside Glomes at White Point Beach Resort on the South Shore. Yurts in the Vineyard in Guysborough offer a glamping experience on the Eastern Shore, complete with on-site sauna, kayak rentals, and distillery. Check out East Coast Glamping to have a site set up at a location of your choice.
Unique Accommodations in Nova Scotia
From rustic off-grid cabins to a luxurious waterfront hotel, find your perfect place to spend the night in Nova Scotia. Whether you prefer an overnight adventure surrounded by nature, a family-friendly getaway to the beach, or being in the centre of it all, check out these unique Nova Scotia accommodations. Yurts in the Vineyard Train Station Inn oTENTik
It’s no secret Canada’s national parks offer some of the best camping in the country. But did you know there are other ways to spend the night at a Parks Place? In Nova Scotia, book an oTENTiks at Broad Cove, Chéticamp, or Ingonish Beach Campgrounds in Cape Breton Highlands National Park; at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site and at GrandPré National Historic Site. Keji also offers yurts, rustic cabins, and Ôasis – teardrop-shaped accommodations, slightly elevated and nestled amongst the trees. History buffs will enjoy an overnight stay at period-style Lartigue House or camping within the walls of Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. All aboard Train enthusiasts and kids of all ages will be delighted by a stay at the Train Station Inn in the quaint village of Tatamagouche. Spend the night in a caboose that has been refurbished into queen suites. In the morning, grab breakfast and “choo choo” in the dining car. You can also enjoy coffee from the onsite café, live music, and a stroll on the Butter Trail – a former railbed – now part of the Great Trail which runs adjacent the property.
Coastal cottages Perhaps the most popular way to hang your hat when visiting Nova Scotia during the summer months is a beachfront cottage. Ranging from rustic to luxurious, hundreds of rental cottages dot Nova Scotia’s coast. Whether it’s a couple of nights, weeks or months, a cottage stay combines many comforts of home with incredible views and a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Waterfront resorts Whether you choose to spend your entire vacation at a single resort or try out a few different locations, you won’t have to worry about a thing. Nova Scotia’s waterfront resorts offer dining, amenities, activities, and water views or beach access all on site. Book at Cabot Cape Breton, Fox Harb’r Resort, Pictou Lodge Beachfront Resort, Quarterdeck Beachside Villas & Grill, Oceanstone Resort, Inverary Resort, Dundee Resort & Golf Club, White Point Beach Resort, Digby Pines Golf Resort & Spa, Keltic Lodge, or Oak Island Resort.
QuarterdeckResortBeachside Villas & Grill
If you plan on spending part of your visit in Halifax, check out Marriott Harbourfront Hotel or The Westin on the Halifax waterfront. Request a room with water views and keep an eye on the busy Halifax Harbour. Other hotels in the city, like the Prince George, the historical Lord Nelson, and Sutton Place Hotel Halifax are not directly on harbourfront but also offer water views. The newest hotel on the waterfront is the Muir Hotel, located in the recently developed Queen’s Marque district. This luxe, one-of-a-kind hotel features harbour views, original Nova Scotian art and hand-cra ed furnishings. Muir is Scots Gaelic for ‘sea’ and fittingly offers sculptural stairs down into the harbour if you feel like dipping your toes.
Off-grid getaways
For those with a sense of adventure seeking to get away from it all, off-grid cabins offer serenity in nature with just enough modern comforts. Visit Sally’s Brook Wilderness Cabins, Iron Mountain Wilderness Cabins, Kayak Cape Breton & Cottages, or Kirribilli EcoRetreat - Pictou Island Yurts to book your off-grid experience.

Spring With days getting longer and weather getting warmer, spring in Nova Scotia is the perfect time to lose a few layers and head outdoors. One of the best signs of spring is the re-opening of seasonal businesses like Provincial Parks, campgrounds, farmers’ markets and select wineries Hiking trails, city parks, gardens and golf courses begin to green up, and local restaurants transition to menus inspired by locally-grown produce and in-season fare. Bon appetit!

Fall
Summer Summer is Nova Scotia’s time to shine! Outdoor adventure is everywhere. You could spend the day at the beach, enjoy a coastal hike, set out on a whale watching tour, kayak along the coast, or hit the greens for a round of golf. Summer is also the ideal time to explore Halifax’s waterfront boardwalk. Pull up a seat at a patio for a meal and a locally cra ed beverage, then pop in to the Art Galleryof Nova Scotia, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, or the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 to immerse yourself in local culture and history. Be sure to spend a couple of nights in a seaside cottage or coastal campsite, take in a local festival or theatre production, and visit a community farmers’ market
Fall is grape harvest time, which means a tour of the Annapolis Valley wine country is a must. Hop on the Magic Winery Bus and make a day of it. If you love music and fall colours, Cape Breton’s Celtic Colours Festival is worth adding to your list of things to do in Nova Scotia in the fall.
As sweater weather approaches, Nova Scotia comes awash in tones of golds, red, yellows and oranges. Fall leaf peeping is a must for visitors and a favourite pastime for locals from late September to late-October. Hiking or driving through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Wentworth Valley, or visiting the Valley Look-off, and Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site is one of the best ways to witness the spectacular colours every year, but there are pockets of beautiful fall colours all over the province; simply cruising down the highway can offer up a dazzling display. Corn mazes and apple and pumpkin U-picks are also favourite fall activities, and we are home to some of the world’s largest pumpkins!
Winter With winter comes an entirely new list of activities. The holiday season brings twinkly lights to already charming seaside communities, providing a festive atmosphere for parades and for finding that perfect gi from a local shop. When the snow starts flying, hit the slopes at Wentworth, Martock, Ben Eoin or Cape Smokey—home to Atlantic Canada’s first and only gondola. The hundreds of kilometres of trails popular for summer hiking are perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing during winter months, while serious surfers will enjoy riding the waves on the Atlantic Coast (watching from the shore is also fun!). Lace up and skate at Halifax’s Emera Oval, or catch a local hockey game. February is Lobster Crawl, time on the South Shore, a month-long lobster festival, kicking off with Lucy the Lobster looking for her shadow. But of course, the great indoors is also wonderful in the winter. Book a getaway at a cozy cottage and warm up next to the fire—or maybe in a hot tub! A er a day in the brisk salt air, you’ve worked up an appetite for a hearty meal at a local restaurant. Enjoy!

Discover the Island’s inland sea
Sailing CBI Outdoor adventures
Stunning scenery is a fact of life in Nova Scotia, and that is especially true in the Bras d’Or Lake region. Literally translated as “Arm of Gold,” the name surely was inspired by the sunsets over Canada’s only inland sea. With a complex sequence of barrier beaches, rocky headlands, barachois ponds, and wetlands, it is no surprise that the area is a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Here, you can experience the heritage of some of the founding cultures of Nova Scotia. Discover what life was like thousands of years ago for the Mi’kmaq; hear stories and music and share in a traditional feast during an Eskasoni Cultural Journey. Or, learn about the lives of early Scottish settlers at the Highland Village Museum, a 43-acre living history museum where costumed interpreters greet you in Gaelic. Pick up some picnic supplies and visit the St. Peter’s Canal National Historic Site, where you will learn how the canal has provided a link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bras d’Or Lake for over 140 years.
The incredible lake views will inspire you to play your best 18 holes on our acclaimed courses. Choose from Dundee Resort & Golf Club or The Lakes Golf Club.
Discover how the Mi’kmaq harvest sweet grass on a two-hour guided excursion with your local expert. Sweet grass, a culturally significant plant, is used by the Mi’kmaq for traditional ceremonies, cra ing and cleansing of the mind, spirit, body, and soul. Hike along a moderate trail as you explore nature, visit historic landmarks, and enjoy the beautiful aroma of sweet grass.
Enjoy eco-conscious accommodations and activities set on a 70+ acre property on the scenic Bras d’Or Lake. Spend your days exploring the property by foot, visiting the half-kilometre private beach, renting kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddleboards, and end the day with a bonfire or BBQ before staying the night in the boathouse or off-grid yurt or geodesic dome.
Cruise the lake Known for gentle, fog-free waters, beautiful anchorages, and hundreds of coves and islands, the Bras d’Or Lake is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Take a sailing cruise of the historic St. Peter’s Canal and the Bras d’Or Lake with Cape Breton Sailing Charters or Richmond Adventure Planning. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, cormorants, and herons. You can also brush up on your sailing skills or take an introductory lesson.

The 100 Wild Islands are a group of over 280 wild islands, between Clam Harbour Beach Provincial Park and Taylor Head Provincial Park. Noted for their historical and ecological significance, most of these islands are now protected in perpetuity. Featured in Canadian Geographic , these islands offer sheltered coves of turquoise water with white sand beaches, windswept headlands, and unique boreal rainforests, bogs, and barrens. A rich diversity of seabirds, songbirds, and shorebirds also call this area home. Book a kayaking trip or scenic boat tour to experience this pristine environment.
