Nova Scotia
With 7,400km (4,598 miles) of coastline, itâs no wonder Nova Scotia is dubbed Canadaâs ocean playground. It boasts a wide variety of landscapes in a relatively small provinceârugged coastlines, deep wilderness, a verdant valley, ancient Appalachian highlands, feverish tidal zones, gentle northern shores, and one hip capital city.
Sightseeing This province is best appreciated by driving it. Cape Bretonâs Highlands are ranked among the countryâs top scenic drives; the Bay of Fundyâwhich divides Nova Scotia from New Brunswickâis one of the natural wonders in the world.
Eating & Drinking Freshly harvested seafood is the provinceâs showcase, but drink is just as important: The province boasts award-winning wineries, microbreweries, distilleries, and was the producer of North Americaâs first single malt whiskey. If you like wine, the northeast end of the Annapolis Valley around Wolfville is the home of Nova Scotiaâs burgeoning wine industry. Now several decades in, vintners here are making their mark on the international wine scene, particularly with crisp whites, sparkling wines, and dessert vino. Check out www.winesofnovascotia.ca to learn more about Nova Scotia specialties, Nova Scotiaâs appellation called Tidal Bay , and to see a map of the provinceâs wineries, concentrated as they are in the Annapolis Valley. Among the best are LâAcadie Vineyards, Gaspereau Vineyards, and Benjamin Bridge, but new wineries are coming on line all the time.
History With habitation dating back to 1605, there is much to see and savor in Nova Scotia. But, on the whole, its attractions are not of the âdusty artifacts behind glassâ variety. Instead, visitors find interactive museums, compelling historic sites, and whole heritage villages. Some of the best: the Annapolis Royal, Fortress Louisbourg, Halifax Citadel, Ross Family Farm, Acadian and Highland Villages, and the historic fishing vessels in Lunenburg.
Nature Whether visiting with whales, riding the ocean surf, or watching sea birds fishing for dinner, the ocean that surrounds Nova Scotia is both a natural habitat and playground. Visitors can kayak hundreds of isolated, uninhabited islands and canoe vast wilderness preserves. Adventures on land include biking through the highlands, camping in a dark sky preserve, and photographing soaring eagles. Lace up your hiking boots to hunt fossils or ride the waves of the highest tides in the world. The options to explore here are endless.
