Naturally Beautiful
With over 4,700 miles of pristine coastline, you’re always close to natural perfection in Nova Scotia, Canada. Here you can choose a “destination within a destination” and spend a wonderful weekend exploring a special corner of Nova Scotia. Or take a week and get a taste of everything our province has to offer. Either way, you can drive along coastal highways that put one spectacular vista after another in front of you ... in fact, all around you.

Immerse yourself in a vacation of endless experiences
Some people love to be surrounded by history and culture, while some actively pursue unique adventures; and for others yet, it is the adrenaline rush of being on the edge. You can find all these delights in Nova Scotia.

From Charming City...
When you first arrive in the capital city of Halifax, you will be enchanted by both the beauty of your surroundings as well as its people. The seaside city is rich in history and culture and full of genuinely friendly residents who will greet you with a welcoming hello.  Halifax is the ultimate walking city. You can stroll along the boardwalk and see ships, schooners and an authentic Privateer’s Warehouse, where these adventurers stored their treasure. Just doors down, you can shop for your own treasures in fine boutiques.

Every day at noon, a cannon is fired from the city’s hill-top fortress, the Halifax Citadel, the most visited national historic site in Canada. You’ll be enthralled as the kilted 78th Highland Regiment of the 1860s perform military drill, pipe and drum and the colorful changing of the guard ceremonies. Just minutes away, you can choose from an array of five-star restaurants specializing in the freshest seafood you’ll ever taste. Then, dance the night away to traditional Celtic, electrifying blues, cool jazz or the hottest contemporary sounds. This is a city where the good times keep going until the wee hours.

...to Spectacular Seaside
Halifax is so close to nature, it’s easy to take a variety of dazzling day trips. Just a few miles up the coast from the city, Clam Harbour promises endless walks on soft sand beaches. On the way, you can find hidden treasures of antiques and folk art so you can take a true remembrance home with you. Also minutes away from the city centre is the picture-perfect community of Peggy’s Cove. With waves breaking fiercely on the granite shore, Peggy’s Cove is home to one of the world’s most recognizable lighthouses, which serves double duty as the local post office.

For a taste of the finer things, head to beautiful  Annapolis Valley and sample award-winning wines and fine cuisine. You’ll be right beside the Bay of Fundy, home of the highest tides in the world, where more adventurous types may want to try white-water rafting on the incoming tidal bore.

Order to Perfection
What is your idea of the perfect vacation? Eating freshly cooked lobster for seven days straight or eating up the greens at the number-one ranked golf course in Canada? Joining  dozens of locals — and soon-to-be friends — in a rousing cheer of “Sociable!” or sitting on an Adirondack chair, overlooking the sea, with not a soul in sight?

Whatever your restless heart desires, Nova Scotia has it all. There are a variety of packages available to create your own unique Nova Scotia experience — from city getaways to multi-day seacoast escapes. With a 3-hour non-stop air connection on United Airlnes, Nova Scotia is a lot easier to get to than you might think. And isn’t easy what vacations are all about.

...to present-day adventures
Nature lovers no longer need to dream of a place where the sea virtually surrounds towering highlands, where rolling hills and long, lush valleys appear around every bend. Here, dreams become realities with our variety of inland and coastal trails. From easy to challenging (particularly in the magnificent Cape Breton Highlands National Park), there is always a road not taken. This park is on the spectacular Cabot Trail, one of the world’s great coastal drives, and one of the reasons Cape Breton was voted by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the world’s most scenic islands. Along the Northumberland Strait, you can relax on fine, sand beaches and swim in the warmest salt waters north of the Carolinas.

And when the day is done, you can retreat to charming B&Bs and dine on lobster and seafood caught that very morning. Throughout Nova Scotia, you’ll find places to go whale watching, hiking, biking, surfing and much more.
