An outdoor enthusiast’s paradise

Stretching from the edges of the Halifax Metro region to the Canso Causeway, Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore is a place where historically themed attractions, outdoor

activities, comforting cuisine, and a natural paradise come together to create a one-of-a-kind travel experience.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love this region. From Martinique Beach, Nova Scotia’s longest sandy beach, to Lawrencetown Beach, a popular year-round hot spot for surfing, this is the perfect destination for swimming, surfing, sea kayaking, or taking part in the annual sandcastle competition at Clam Harbour Beach Provincial Park (see page 324). The seaside setting is home to numerous bird species, including eider ducks, great blue herons, Atlantic puffins, plovers, and sand-pipers, making it a must-visit destination for birding enthu-siasts. Hikers and cyclists will find numerous multi-use and wilderness trails to enjoy.

Step into Nova Scotia’s past at one of the region’s living-history museums—the enduring, authentic late-1800s setting of Sherbrooke Village, or Memory Lane Heritage Village’s depic-tion of the province’s rural industries in the 1940s, including gold mining. See how a fisherman supported a family of fif-teen in the tiny homestead that is now the Fisherman’s Life Museum in Oyster Pond (see page 321).

The Eastern Shore is the ideal getaway for people looking to escape the urban way.

Hope for Wildlife, SeaforthThe Hope for Wildlife Society gives injured and orphaned wildlife in Nova Scotia a second chance. The non-profit char-ity provides food, medical care, and shelter for about 1,500 injured and orphaned animals each year. The site offers tours and houses a small interpretive centre and observation tower (see page 321).

Acadian House Museum, West ChezzetcookThis charming, community-operated museum celebrates the history of the Acadian families who settled in this area in the 1850s. The museum also houses La Cuisine de Brigitte tea room, specializing in homemade soups, sandwiches, and scrumptious homemade desserts (see page 321).

The 1.5-kilometre Gibraltar Loop off the Musquodoboit Trailways system presents a short, steep climb to the look-off (see page 325).

Step into the life of a fishermanFisherman’s Life Museum, Jeddore Oyster PondEnjoy a freshly baked molasses cookie while listen-ing to stories about the land, the sea, and the life people led on the Eastern Shore in the early 1900s.

Dine at the CookhouseMemory Lane Heritage Village, Lake CharlotteSixteen restored buildings offer visitors a nostalgic look at rural Nova Scotia in the 1940s. Be sure to enjoy a traditional cookhouse lunch, complete with homemade brown bread and molasses (see page 321).

Kayak around coastal islands and inletsCoastal Adventures, TangierThe best way to see this rugged shore is from the water, and located in the sheltered Tangier Harbour is Coastal Adventures. Experienced guides love to show our fascinating inlets and islands of the Bay of Islands, a largely undisturbed coastal wilderness area (see page 342).

Hike coastal trailsTaylor Head Provincial ParkLocated on a rugged, wind-swept peninsula that juts 6 kilometres into the Atlantic Ocean, Taylor Head Provincial Park is a “must-do” for the nature and bird lover. The park’s walking and hiking trails provide access to a variety of natural habitats, extensive granite out-croppings, scenic look-offs, and a large white sand beach. With its wooded areas and 16 kilometres of coastline, Taylor Head is a haven for wildlife and a variety of breeding and migrating bird species, including Arctic tern, Leach’s petrel, common eider, and Canada goose (see page 324). The Friends of Taylor Head, a local non-profit society, offers a num-ber of guided walks and nature talks at Taylor Head Provincial Park (see page 346).

Taste of Nova ScotiaThe Eastern Shore is known for its pristine cold waters, which produce some of the finest seafood the province has to offer. Lobsters, mussels, oysters, clams, and a variety of fish can be found in local restaurants or pur-

chased fresh from the many family-run fish plants along the shore.

Learn how mussels are grown and harvested at AquaPrime Mussel Ranch, then take home a pound or two for supper. While you’re there, be sure to pick up a dozen or so Sober Island Oysters. Both local deli-cacies are best enjoyed steamed.

If you prefer, let the professionals prepare your meal. The award-winning DesBarres Manor Inn uses just-picked ingredients from their gardens, along with foods from an extensive network of local farmers and fishers, to create seasonally inspired menus. Nature lovers will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at the Liscombe Lodge Resort & Conference Centre over-looking the beautiful Liscomb River.

When picking up ingredients for the perfect picnic, don’t miss J. Willy Krauch & Sons, which offers some of the finest smoked fish products. Creamed honeys and chutneys from Cornect Family Farm, which are available from local retailers, make delicious spreads and fantastic sou-venirs! For other tasty gift ideas pick up a bag of locally roasted Full Steam Coffee or a few bottles of Rare Bird Craft Beer.

For information about the Nova Scotia Chowder Trail and authentic Nova Scotia culinary experiences, pick up the Taste of Nova Scotia Culinary Adventure Guide or visit tasteofnovascotia.com.

Glad-You-Stopped Farmers’ Markets Fill your shopping basket with locally grown vegetables, berries, meats, specialty foods, crafts, and gift items.

Musquodoboit Harbour Farmers’ MarketBingo Hall, Eastern Shore Community Centre, 67 Park RoadSunday 9am–1pm, June to October

Guysborough MarketJost Building, Guysborough WaterfrontSaturday 9am–noon, July and August

The Bicentennial Theatre and Cultural Centre in Middle Musquodoboit has a rich and varied history. Constructed in 1928 as a meeting hall for the “Odd Fellows,” an altruistic society, it contained a 350-seat theatre, a dressing room cleverly built between the two upper levels, a bowling alley, and a dining hall.

After a brief period of disrepair, the building was restored to its former glory and reopened in 1985. Today, this beautifully restored theatre plays host to a variety of entertainment from local theatre and well-known Maritime musicians to an annual fiddle competition each September. bicentennialtheatre.ca

Capture a MomentThe Eastern Shore’s rugged coastal beauty offers fan-tastic opportunities for photos that may soon grace the walls of your home.

Seaforth, off Highway 207Photo opportunities await you around every turn of this wind-ing coastal highway, and this small seaside community with its sandy cliffs and coastal farms is no exception. Climb the tower at the Hope for Wildlife Sanctuary for a bird’s-eye view of the stunning coastline.

The Hummingbird Sculpture, Middle MusquodoboitThe pride and joy of this friendly rural area is its giant humming-bird sculpture, the largest of its kind in North America, created by local artist Roberta Annand just before her death in 2014. Fellow bird lovers will delight in posing for a photo in front of the colour-ful sculpture and its lovingly tended garden.

Memory Lane Heritage Village, Lake CharlottePhotographers seeking a vintage-style backdrop will delight in the 1940s setting of this quaint museum village. Strike a pose beside the antique truck or among the beautifully restored barns and buildings.

McDonald Brothers’ Sawmill, SherbrookeThe St. Mary’s River cranks the water wheel at this heritage saw-mill, powering the up-and-down mill saws that turn huge logs into rough-hewn lumber, just as they did in the early 1900s.

Outdoor AdventuresThe Eastern Shore offers explorers an array of off-the-beaten-path adventures for every fitness level. A complete listing of Eastern Shore’s outdoor opportunities starts on page 323.

Surfing at Lawrencetown BeachFor a true something-to-write-home-about experi-ence, sign up for a surfing lesson near Lawrencetown Beach Provincial Park. These well-established surfing schools have everything you need for your saltwater adventure—wetsuits, boards, and lots of patience. By sundown, they’ll have you feeling the thrill of catch-ing your first wave (see page 323).

Beachcombing and birding at Martinique BeachSearch for beach glass and sand dollars on Nova Scotia’s longest beach, a white-sand crescent that stretches flat and wide for five kilometres, with sea-birds soaring on the ocean breezes above the dunes. This is also a protected area for the endangered Piping Plover (see page 324).

Swimming at Clam Harbour Beach Provincial ParkThe smooth sand and warm tidal stream invite kids of all ages to splash and swim for hours. The rocky coast at the edge of the beach can be explored by way of a nature trail, which runs along other smaller sandy beaches. The site also offers an interpretive display, washroom and change room facilities, and a picnic area (see page 324).

Cycling the Musquodoboit Harbour TrailwayThe former Canadian National Rail line has been converted to a 14.5-kilometre woodland hiking and biking trail. This flat, gravel-covered route offers a lei-surely pedal through hardwood stands, past granite ridges, and alongside picturesque waterways with picnic facilities (see page 325).

Going musselingJoin Captain Murphy aboard his traditional Cape Island boat for the mussel harvesting adventure, Blueberries of the Sea. Weaving along the coast, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and sea-birds on your way to the mussel grounds. Bring your rubber boots or sandals and wade out into the shal-lows to harvest the mussels. A culinary tour wouldn’t be complete without a sampling of your bounty— seafood just can’t get any fresher!

Kayaking with Coastal Adventures

Liscombe Lodge hiking

Cycling on Eastern Shore

“The Bay of Islands,” as it was coined by Samuel de Champlain in 1607, is an archipelago of 100 coastal islands stretching from Clam Harbour to Liscomb. Due to the largely undisturbed nature of these islands and the diversity of ecosystems, this area was recently recognized by the Nova Scotia Nature Trust as a “coastal wilderness of ecological significance unmatched in North America.” Easily accessible by a guided sea kayak tour with Coastal Adventures (see page 342), these islands offer visitors pristine white sand beaches, sheltered coves, dramatic windswept headlands, and unique boreal forests, bogs, and barrens, as well as a rich diversity of seabirds, songbirds, and shorebirds. 100wildislands.ca

Did you know?

Hiking along the Liscomb RiverPut on your sneakers, grab your camera, and head to the Liscomb River Trail System. Over 20 kilo metres of inland and coastal trails, featuring waterfalls, a fish ladder, and a swinging bridge, will keep you busy for a couple of hours or the whole day (see page 325). Access the trail system at Liscombe Lodge Resort & Conference Centre.

Kayaking our coastThe experienced guides at Coastal Adventures in Tangier will lead you to many coastal reefs and islands along the Eastern Shore. For a truly unique paddle, be sure to ask about the Canso Barrens. Located in one of the most remote and least travelled areas of Nova Scotia, the Canso Barrens area features a rug-ged coast of white granite bedrock, glacial erratics, and numerous rock islands, hidden coves, and nar-row shallow passageways (see page 342).

Strolling the historic Guysborough WaterfrontThis self-guided walking tour of Guysborough’s historic waterfront will lead you past a number of her-itage buildings and interpretive panels. Tour maps, which include a short history on each building, are available at the Old Court House Museum or at guysboroughhistoricalsociety.ca.
