The Best Beaches in Nova Scotia, Canada
"Hubbards Barn, 57 Highway #3, across the street from Trellis Cafe 902-277-1697 Contact: Ashley Marlin, Market Manager. Located in a beautiful old Barn in the middle of 6 acres of peaceful woodlands and fields. Enjoy strolling along the woodland paths, visit with friends or make new ones on the south side patio."
"This hidden gem of the South Shore is worth the time to find. On Saturday mornings, there is the Hubbards Farmers’ Market. The rest of the week, the park is open for exploring."
"This beach, unlike its sister beach, Queensland Beach Provincial Park, is unsupervised. It has beautiful sandy beaches and a nice picnic area as well."
"If you’re looking to wet your pallet while wandering around the charming streets of Lunenburg, you may want to make your way to Ironworks Distillery. Ironworks is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning micro-distillery. Located in an old marine blacksmith shop at the corner of Kempt and Montague Streets, Ironworks Distillery creates small batches of artisan spirits."
"Ironworks Distillery in Lunenburg is another popular craft spirit maker. The name comes from the charming old blacksmith shop converted into this quality boutique distillery right in the heart of Canada’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site town other than the historic district in Quebec City. Must-try drink: This is the year to try Bluenose Rum."
"After being open for 81 years, locals and tourists still flock to The Shore Club for their famous lobster dinner. Located right off the beach in Hubbards, just 30 minutes outside the city, it’s well worth the drive if you’re looking for a true Nova Scotian experience. Stick around after dinner for live music and dancing or take an evening stroll along the beach."
"On your day trip to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg, Shore Club lobster suppers is a must stop for dinner on your way back!. This place has a traditional Lobster supper with all you can eat mussels and salad and your choice of lobster size. They also have a great kids menu since I can’t get my kids to try lobster yet!"
"The Ovens Natural Park gets its name from the sea caves, or “ovens,” that run along the shoreline. This scenic spot offers spectacular ocean views, hiking trails, a campground, kayaking, and more. Come for the day or make it a full vacation!"
"Located in Garden Lots, Sawpit Park is a waterfront area that allows water access to Lunenburg’s Back Harbour and the Atlantic Ocean. The park has a boat launch, picnic and parking areas, benches, a privy and a wharf that you can walk out on. The wharf at Sawpit is for “day-use” and short term berthing."
"Located on the outskirts of historic Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, the Halifax & Southwestern Railway Museum is dedicated to preserving the rich railroading heritage of the area. Civic Address: 11188 Highway 3 Centre NS"
