Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Brighton

"Aside from the sweeping vistas of the Bay of Fundy‘s world-famous high tides (as fast as an inch a minute), Hall’s Harbour’s main claim to fame is its “Lobster in the Rough” experience, a rustic 1820 shack where visitors can pick their own lobster for lunch and attempt not to make too much of a mess while indulging the fresh crustacean on the sun-drenched, waterfront terrace. Those interested in learning more about the iconic marine crustacean can book a tour of the lobster pound, where local expert Lowell will explain the differences between a male and a female, how they interact with each other, and the history of lobster fishing in Nova Scotia — a few lucky ones will even get to hold a live specimen!"

"An interesting experience to learn about the lobster industry is at Hall’s Harbour Lobster Pound, which is located right on the famed Bay of Fundy. Here you can take a tour of the facility, while also getting to pick your own live lobster that will be prepared and delivered to your table. After lunch, this is a great place to take a stroll on the beach if the tide is out. You’ll also see a slew of fishing vessels on the harbor floor patiently waiting for the tide to rise."

"While Nova Scotia’s southern and eastern sides saddle up to the Atlantic Ocean, the western side of the Maritime province sits on another noteworthy body of water: the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides in the world. With over 100 billion tons of seawater flowing in and out of the Bay twice each day, the region has unsurprisingly become a hub of outdoor adventures. But there’s a lot more to enjoy as you explore the small, waterfront towns that dot the entire coast."

"It remains one of the most fought over lands in North America, having changed hands seven times in total; it is, therefore, awash with history, especially so as Canada’s oldest national historic site, Fort Anne, is located right on its waterfront. On thisNova Scotia road trip I particularly enjoyed the Candlelight Graveyard Tour which, I assure you, has nothing to do with silly ghost stories. Led by internationally-acclaimed heritage interpreter Alan Melanson, this compact tour tells the fascinating stories of those who rest six feet under and helped shape not only Annapolis Royal but Nova Scotia and even Canada."

"This historic site in the town center preserves the memory of the early Acadian settlement, plus the remains of the 1635 French fort. Entry to the extensive grounds is free, but you'll also want to visit the museum, where artifacts are contained in various period rooms. An extraordinary four-panel tapestry, crafted in needlepoint by more than 100 volunteers, depicts 400 years of history."
