Bright buildings on the Runnburg waterfront
Nova Scotia is a place where strangers can stop talking and place a smile. Hospitality, fresh seafood, good wine and pristine beaches on this famous East Coast are all gathering places for a memorable summer vacation. With just six hours flying in the UK, there's nothing to do, from exploring historic fishing villages to world-class surfing. Here are 10 recommendations.
Sorting Lobster
There is no shortage of seafood, including fish and chips from food trucks or fresh oysters from the latest downtown restaurants. Nova Scotia is famous for its lobsters, but there are a variety of other seafood options and the menu is constantly evolving, but for traditional lobster feasts, you can choose from restaurants along the Halifax waterfront. But the most famous local lobster experience can be found at Shore Club, located on the waterfront 30 minutes away from the city of Hubbards. The club has been active for over 80 years and is popular with locals, and the restaurant serves lobster dinner every day throughout the summer.
Riding colorful lunenberg
The charming seaside town, an hour south of Halifax on the South Shore, is famous for its brightly painted wooden houses and buildings. The colorful facade is meant to reflect how the city looked in Victorian times. Perfect city for a walk. Have a fresh seafood lunch with water and admire the secret cove and fishing boats. There is also the Atlantic Fisheries Museum and the Ironworks Distillery. Here you can enjoy local spirit and lessons in Lunenburg's rum running history.
Enjoy surfing before breakfast
The secret turned out: this side of the Atlantic is waiting for daring people to withstand cool water. Think of misty mornings, wetsuits and world class waves. The notorious East Sea storms and hurricanes can be terrible, but it's still a good place to learn with the help of a professional teacher from East Coast Surf School. Bonus: The waves are so close to the city that you can enjoy an early morning surf on the beach and go back to breakfast time.
Kayaking by the sea at Cape Lahab
Kayak through a network of over 20 islands with amazing local guides from Cape LaHave Adventures. Paddle allows you to learn about local flora and fauna, folklore, and see untouched beaches and coastal wildlife, including seals. In a two-hour lecture, opt for a three-day glamping adventure that includes campfires, homemade cocktails, and fresh oysters for dinner.
Rum Runner Trail
During the ban, many Nova Scotian fishermen chose a rum-changing career change from Canada to the east coast of the United States. Nearly 100 years ago, the old train line, which moved much from the hidden entrance to the main port, has now turned into a 74-mile multi-purpose trail that runs between Halifax and Lunenburg. The trail is the ideal way for outdoor lovers to explore the coastal area and stop at local cafes, bars, beaches and state parks along the way.
Get off at Peggy Cove
Nova Scotia is home to more than 150 lighthouses, but the lighthouse at Peggy & # 39; s Cove is best known. A 40-minute drive from the outskirts of Halifax, this cove is covered with huge granite boulders stretching out into the giant Atlantic waves, creating a dramatic backdrop of landscape photography and windy selfies. Wooden fishing lodges and lobster traps follow the entrance where both local fishermen and inspired artist communities call home.
Fossil Hunting at Bay of Fundy
Bay of Fundy is a unique and visually arrested coastal environment. Every day the tide rises to 16 meters (53 feet) and then backs off for six hours, leaving geological gemstones on the seabed. At low tide, you can walk along the tidal flats to find fossils and see marine life in the tidal pools. Embark on a tidal bore rafting adventure with an adrenaline-infused way to experience the algae. When the incoming tide meets the Schevena Cadi river, the waves generated by the tidal holes create quite rough rafting.
From Halifax waterfront
Halifax boasts nearly 4 km of promenade and its waterfront is full of museums, farmers markets and shops. There are also many options for harbor tours. Or watch the boat sail while drinking cold pints in the beer garden, or enjoy fresh seafood and local wines somewhere upscale, like 5 fishermen. Enjoy live music at Stayner & # 39; s Wharf Pub and Grill or the iconic Lower Deck, located in one of the beautiful historical buildings. Across the harbor, the neighboring downtown Dartmouth boasts many wonderful places. Cafes, breweries and restaurants. The ferry takes only 10 minutes to cross and offers great views of the city.
Enjoy the magic of wine country
The vineyards of Nova Scotia have soared over the past decade, mostly located in the gorgeous Annapolis Valley with farms and vineyards at latitudes similar to Bordeaux. The coastal area is one of the cooler climatic limits of the vine, as a result of which it produces crisp bright white wines that go well with seafood. There is also the Tidal Bay constellation, which in most wineries produces its own mixed drinks made from 100{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} grapes grown in Nova Scotia. The best way to visit Nova Scotia's wine country is to take the Magic Winery Bus, a vintage English double decker with guided hop-on hop service to the region's best wineries.
Coastline exploration
Count on the nearest beach anywhere in Nova Scotia. This state has more than 8,200 miles of pristine coastline, including many islands that dot the coast, with beaches that suit everyone's taste. White waves and crystal clear turquoise waters, rocky misty shores, surf, swim and relax at the warm waters of the Northumberland coast. If you love surfing, Lawrencetown Beach has sand and pebble beaches, big waves, and is 30 minutes from the city centre. Just 40 minutes south of the city, Crystal Crescent is a vast crescent-shaped beach backed by a gorgeous 12-mile coastal hiking trail.
