F rom the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Town Lunenburg, with its colourful waterfront and narrow streets, to the inspiring views of the
coast and its 40-plus lighthouses, the South Shore is much more than the home of Bluenose II and the must-photograph Peggy’s Cove. It is a place where you can live in the moment, let your mind wander, and surprise yourself, perhaps by rowing a traditional dory near Cape Sable Island or throwing an axe with World Logrolling Champion Darren Hudson at his Lumberjack AXEperience in Barrington.
Watch how pewter designs become keepsakes at Amos Pewter in Mahone Bay, Canada’s only Pewter Economuseum. At Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site, discover Mi’kmaw petroglyphs etched in rock, with the help of an interpreter, and experience stunning stargazing in the Dark Sky Preserve.
Culinary delights abound here, and fresh and delicious seafood serves as the cornerstone of many delectable dining experiences, like the famed Shore Club Lobster Suppers in Hubbards, where more than a million lobster suppers have been served in the past 70 years. Delicious seafood is never far away!
Train Station Bike & Bean, TantallonNestled on the Rum Runners Trail, which connects coastal communities between Halifax and Lunenburg, this café and bike shop makes a good starting point on the multi-use rails-to-trails route or the perfect pit stop (see page 59).
Charlotte Lane Café, ShelburneThis two-time winner of the province’s “Small Restaurant Award” is a must while in town. Described as world cuisine blended with charm and down-home hospitality, Chef Roland’s menu has been inspired by his world travels. Don’t miss the seafood chowder! (See page 57).
The Barn Coffee & Social House, Mahone BayTake a moment out from exploring to grab a cup of joe or a pastry at this restored rustic barn on Main Street in Mahone Bay. This comfortable, cozy coffee house is the perfect place to re-energize before starting your next adventure. thebarncoffee.com
The Port Grocer, Port MedwayWhether you’re stopping by for lunch, Sunday brunch or live music on Friday nights, you’ll enjoy the atmosphere and flavours this place has to offer, and it’s the ideal spot to get your fill of seafood! theportgrocer.ca

haskapa Berry Products, Mahone BayThis superberry, rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, originates from Japan but has been thriving in Nova Scotia since 2011. A wide variety of products are locally made with these versatile berries, which taste like a combination of blueberry and raspberry. Stop by the retail shop in Mahone Bay to pick up the award-winning juice, chutney, chocolates, or maple syrup, to name a few. haskapa.com
South Shore beer and wineVisit one of the craft breweries on the South Shore to sample their latest creations. Saltbox Brewing Co. in Mahone Bay, Hell Bay Brewing Co. in Liverpool, and Boxing Rock Brewing Co. in Shelburne each have a unique story rooted in local history behind their names and equally unique brews to satisfy your thirst.

YARMOUTH & ACADIAN SHORES
Where the stars align
T here’s a bit of magic in Yarmouth & Acadian Shores. It’s quiet and peaceful, yet full of adventure. This is where the land meets the
sea. Where English and Acadian cultures coexist. And where the darkest skies let the stars shine their brightest. It’s where the food is fresh and local, and the music is too. It’s where everything comes together. It’s where the stars align.
This region is part of North America’s first starlight destination—Acadian Skies and Mi’kmaq Lands—as designated by the International Starlight Foundation. Here you can discover dark skies like nowhere else, with brilliant stars from distant galaxies shining against the night sky.
Located within the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, this region offers scenic coastal drives, quaint fishing villages, and untouched landscapes. The relaxed atmosphere coupled with the rich local culture allows you to enjoy all that the region has to offer at your own pace. This is a place to reset—there is no rush hour, no stress, no worry. This is where you can begin your Nova Scotia experience, exploring nature and culture with room to breathe.
Traditions, music, and food have been more than preserved here—they flourish. Pick up a phrase from our Acadian patois (dialect), check out Musique de la Baie, or stroll through the Town of Yarmouth’s Heritage District and experience unique Victorian homes. We love our culture, and invite you to celebrate with us.
Your new favourite songsMusic is a cornerstone of our local culture. Discover Musique de la Baie kitchen parties July 1 to September 15. Tap your toes to local talent while enjoying a delicious meal.

66 Outdoor adventuresThe Yarmouth & Acadian Shores region offers intrepid explorers an exciting array of off-the-beaten-path experiences for every fitness level; a list of Yarmouth & Acadian Shores’ outdoor activities starts on page 72.
The Song of the Paddle guided kayak tours, YarmouthFrom tours along the historic Yarmouth waterfront to a paddle along the shores of Ellenwood Lake, enjoy discovering this area from a special vantage point—on the water! Suitable for beginners, experienced paddlers, and families. Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are provided (see page 73).
Seaside walking trails await, Cape Forchu LightstationEnjoy a magnificent ocean view from a past winner of “Canada’s Greatest Public Space.” Explore the Leif Erikson Park trails and look-off points in the 17-acre seaside park, and finish with visits to the museum, café, and local craft shop. Pedal your way here—a gentle, rolling ride, only 10 kilometres from Yarmouth (see page 71).
Le Petit Bois Interpretive Trail, Church PointTake a self-guided or guided interpretive walk to discover the Acadian history and natural beauty of the region. Observe local wildlife and unique plants, and learn about duck and owl habitats. A new lighthouse-shaped observatory offers an outdoor deck and equipment for sea-bird and seal watching (see page 73). Stop by the Acadian Interpretive Centre in the nearby Rendez-vous de la Baie Visitor Centre and learn about the fascinating history of the Acadians in this area (see page 71).
Bucket-list cycling, Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie Ride in the largest cycling event east of Quebec! Experience true Acadian hospitality with local music along the panoramic coast of St. Mary’s Bay, as you navigate inland and coastal roads. And after all that, fresh lobster and live music are your rewards. There are four rides for all skill levels, from 35 to 161 kilometres. September 21–22, 2019. granfondobaiesaintemarie.ca
Back-country adventures in the Tobeatic Wilderness AreaWith dozens of remote lakes, the “Toby” and the adjacent Kejimkujik National Park & National Historic Site together protect 142,000 hectares. Considered the heart of the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, it’s a stronghold for moose, black bear, bobcat, river otter, coastal plain plants, Blanding’s turtles, and the rarely seen pine marten. The area is isolated—pack appropriate gear, and consider booking a guide, such as Hinterland Adventures or Ukaliq Wilderness Adventures (see page 178).
The Song of the Paddle, Yarmouth Waterfront
Ellenwood Lake Provincial Park, DeerfieldOvernight camping, supervised swimming, sensational stargazing, and walking trails make this park the ideal outdoor escape (see page 70).

Visit app.townofyarmouth.ca to download the Heritage in Your Hand app for a self-guided tour. It will guide you through Yarmouth’s heritage district with interactive maps, videos, and stories about these fantastic homes.
Port Maitland Beach Provincial Park, Port MaitlandStroll along this 1-kilometre sand-and-cobble beach or take a dip in the ocean. Pack a lunch to enjoy at the picnic tables overlooking the shore. The nearby wharf and fishing boats are favourites for painters and photographers (see page 73).
Mavillette Beach and Cape Saint Mary Lighthouse ParkTwo spectacular outdoor sites within a 5-minute drive! Mavillette is home to a breathtaking 1.5-km-long sandy beach backed by fragile marram grass–covered dunes protected by boardwalks. Low tide exposes sand flats; then the hot sand warms the water. Take the short drive to Cape Saint Mary Lighthouse Park, where dramatic cliffs and breathtaking sunsets await. Pack a picnic and enjoy the ocean vistas, interpretive panels, viewing scope and a new monument honouring those from Clare who have been lost at sea. capsaintemarie.ca/en
East Coast Paddle Company, TusketEarly birds can rise and shine with a sunrise paddle to start the day right. For the night owls, a scenic sunset paddle around Yarmouth Harbour may be more enjoyable. For everyone else, daytime tours, lessons and rentals are available (see page 72).

Avondale Sky Winery
BAY OF FUNDY & ANNAPOLIS VALLEY
76
Savour the bounty of land and sea
This is a place where life is shaped by the sea and fertile soil. Together they tell a captivating story. The world’s highest tides carve the
dramatic cliffs and caves that define the Bay of Fundy coastline, making it one of the “Top 7 Natural Wonders of North America” and “Canada’s Natural Wonder” in the New7Wonders of Nature.
Fresh food is a way of life in the heartland of Nova Scotia’s farming and wine industry. The climate, rich soil, and grassland work together to produce bountiful harvests and elegant, character-rich wines. The area is home to several wineries; meet the vintners, discuss their craft, and sample their
Grand-Pré National Historic Site
award-winning creations. For a local delicacy, enjoy succulent scallops in Digby, the scallop capital of the world and home to the world’s largest inshore scallop fleet.
The region features eight National Historic Sites, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, partially located within Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site. Explore the history of the area and learn of the first successful European settlement in North America (1605) at Port-Royal, visit the Landscape of Grand Pré UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iconic place of remembrance of the Acadians, and learn about Mi’kmaq history at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site.
For the ultimate rush, experience a one-of-a-kind tidal bore river rafting thrill ride on the Shubenacadie River, just 30 minutes from Truro. Create lasting memories here—feed the animals at the Oaklawn Farm Zoo, and enjoy hours of heart-pumping fun at Upper Clements Theme and Adventure Parks. Nearby Digby Neck and Islands is renowned for its whale watching adventures, and the Town of Digby is home to Canada’s largest multi-day motorcycle rally, the Wharf Rat Rally.

Kayaking at Fox Harb’r Resort, Wallace
NORTHUMBERLAND SHORE
110 Experience warm-water beaches and fab foodie finds
Melmerby Beach Provincial Park
Tasting room at Jost VineyardsWith more warm-water ocean beaches than anywhere else in Canada, this shore is Beach Country. There is always
room for your beach towel, so don your swimsuit and sunhat and head out to Bayfield, Blue Sea, Heather, Melmerby, Northport, Pomquet, Rushtons, or Waterside Beach where the sparkling salt water averages more than 22°C (72°F) in the summer (see
pages 121–122). Local producers of wine, spirits, craft beer, chocolate, and seafood are also dotted along this coastline, making for perfect pit stops as you beach hop.
This region is home to Nova Scotia’s largest winery. Nestled amongst the gently rolling hills and nearby shoreline of the Northumberland Strait, Jost Vineyards produces distinctive wines. Enjoy a glass in Jost’s Seagrape Café, perfectly paired with locally inspired dishes (see page 120). Get off the beaten path and discover the fragrant lavender fields of Seafoam Lavender Gardens (see page 119) and the magic of maple syrup in the sugar woods at Sugar Moon Farm (see page 121). Stay at Fox Harb’r Resort, Nova Scotia’s only 5-star resort and one of only five in Canada (see
page 114).
Tatamagouche is a not-to-be-missed seaside village with a bustling Main Street. You will find Tatamagouche Brewing Co. (see page 120), the Tatamagouche Farmers’ Market at Creamery Square (see page 119), Appleton Chocolate Company (see page
120), Christine’s Sweets by the Sea, the Chowder House on Main, bike rentals perfect for a riverview bike ride at Remember Adventures (see page 121), dining and accommodations in rail cars at the Train Station Inn (see page 115), and various shops, all packed into a one-kilometre stretch.
There are plenty of local beverage producers in this region that have crafted the perfect pairing for lobster. Try an ice-cold ale from Uncle Leo’s Brewery or the Tatamagouche Brewing Company; have a cocktail with your crustacean made with spirits from Steinhart Distillery, or Caldera Distilling; or enjoy a crisp white wine from Jost Vineyards (see all listings on
page 120). For in-season local produce, freshly baked treats and handcrafted goods visit the Tatamagouche Farmers’ Market at Creamery Square, the New Glasgow Farmers’ Market or the Antigonish Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings.
For a look at this region’s past explore the Town of Pictou, known as the “Birthplace of New Scotland.” Step aboard the legendary ship Hector replica at the Hector Heritage Quay and imagine what it was like for the many Scottish immigrants who voyaged across the Atlantic Ocean (see page 119).

DISCOVER CAPE BRETON ISLAND
Pjila’si! One hundred thousand welcomes! Bienvenue! Ciad mille failte!These words of welcome have long been offered to visitors as they cross the causeway into Cape Breton, ready to explore a region where history lives and breathes.
Step into the life of a French Settler at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, North America’s largest historical reconstruction; take a White Glove Tour of the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Bell’s life; share a traditional feast and hear stories and music while on an Eskasoni Cultural Journey; discover Chéticamp’s Acadian history and world-famous hooked rugs at Les Trois Pignons Museum; or tap your toes to the Celtic tunes and try your hand at playing the fiddle at the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre. Tales of Cape Breton’s past continue to influence its future with countless opportunities for you to become immersed in the Island’s stories.
Breathe in the fresh air as you venture outside to take in a hike along the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, voted the Best National
Park in Canada in 2017 by USA Today 10Best—the spectacular cliffside ocean vista is a reward for the senses. Play a round at Cabot Cliffs, which Golf Digest named as Best New Course of the Year for 2015 and ranked as the number one course in Canada for 2017–18. Stretch your legs with a bike ride or hike along the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail. Take a bike, car, or motorcycle tour of the world-renowned Cabot Trail, voted Best Scenic Drive in Canada in 2017 by USA Today 10Best, with its dramatic coastal views and highland scenery.

Gaelic culture at its best
“Ceilidh” (kay-lee) is Gaelic for “gathering,” and a journey along the Ceilidh Trail (Route 19) by vehicle, or the Celtic
Shores Coastal Trail by bike, offers an opportunity to experience the true meaning of the word. Both routes run parallel to the ocean and connect the communities and attractions along the way.
Meet the locals by stopping into the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre or The Red Shoe Pub for some live music and dancing (see pages 130 & 131), and enjoy a delicious meal at The Clove Hitch Bar & Bistro overlooking the ocean in Port Hood (see page 131). Say hello to artist Anne Schroeder and peruse her beautiful hand-painted quilts and silk scarves (see page
130). A trip to Mabou wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Mabou Farmers’ Market. Over 40 vendors offer delicious, local food, beautiful jewellery and art, produce, and of course, live music on Sunday mornings. For the golfer in your group head to Inverness and play a round at the world-renowned Cabot Links or Cabot Cliffs, named the best new golf course in North America by Golf Digest in 2015 (see page 131).
Celtic, Acadian, and First Nations people have strong roots in this area. Nowhere is this more evident than at the Strathspey Performing Arts Centre, a state-of-the-art performance facility where the music, dance, and folklore of these cultures are celebrated (see page 130).
Galloping Cows Fine Foods, Port HoodThis culinary treasure offers hand-crafted preserves that were featured in gift baskets at the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the Toronto International Film Festival. Create your own gift basket of favourites, such as blueberry-rhubarb jam and brandy cranberry marmalade (see page 130).
Glenora Distillery, GlenvilleCanada’s only distiller of single-malt whisky is cradled in a glen in the picturesque Mabou Highlands. Enjoy a tour of the distillery, followed by a taste of Glen Breton Rare whisky—the closest to authentic Scotch outside of Scotland. Don’t forget your dancing shoes, The Glenora Pub has traditional ceilidhs twice a day (see page 130).

Park your car and check out these gems. See page 131 for listings.
Golf at Canada’s only authentic links coursesCabot Links and Cabot Cliffs golf courses at Cabot Links Resort, InvernessCabot Cliffs was designed by Bill Coore and two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw and was ranked as the #1 course in Canada in 2018 by SCOREGolf and #9 of the World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses by Golf Digest. Referred to as the “Pebble Beach of Canada” by Links Magazine, the course, set along the picturesque rugged seaside cliffs of western Cape Breton, features an unusual configuration of six par-threes, six par-fours and six par-fives. Nearby Cabot Links, with golf greens sculpted around sand dunes and ocean views offered at each of the 18 holes, is the recipient of continuous accolades, including SCOREGolf’s ranking as the #4 course in Canada in 2018. Enjoy fine dining at Panorama or casual pub fare at the Cabot Links Public House after your round (see page 131).
Cycle the Celtic Shores Coastal TrailVarious entry points between Port Hastings, Troy, and InvernessThis 92-kilometre multi-use trail winds through the communities of Judique, Port Hood, Mabou, and Inverness. Along the way, you’ll find active fishing harbours, beaches, exhilarating views, museums, restaurants, and accommodations. Include the trail in a multi-day cycling or trekking itinerary, or stop for an hour or two to take in the natural beauty of this area. Bike rentals and shuttle service are available at Eagle Eye Outfitters of Inverness Beach (see page 131).
Walk and swim at Inverness BeachEnjoy a walk along the 1.5 kilometres of soft sand or a refreshing saltwater swim in the warm waters. This beach is supervised throughout the summer months.

Skyline Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park
CABOT TRAIL
Rug hooking at Les Trois Pignons
Hike, golf and dance the Highlands
“I have travelled the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes and the Alps and the
highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”
—Alexander Graham Bell
The natural beauty of the highlands provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as golfing, kayaking, hiking, cycling, fishing, bird- watching, skiing, and snowmobiling. And don’t forget the drive—the Cabot Trail was voted Best Scenic Drive in Canada in 2017 by USA Today 10Best. The panoramic views are spectacular!
Golfers will never forget a day at the Stanley Thompson– designed Highlands Links, consistently ranked as one of the ten best golf courses in Canada. For a different perspective, take a guided kayak tour with Eagle North Canoe & Kayak (see page 147) along the highlands of Northern Cape Breton. One of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers imposing cliffs of ancient bedrock, which feature waterfalls, sea caves, and towering arches.
Some of the best hiking opportunities in Nova Scotia are found in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, voted Best National Park in Canada in 2017 by USA Today 10Best, with 26 trails for all interests and abilities. For a truly spectacular sunset view, take part in the Skyline Sunset Hike. This guided hike leads you to the top of a mountain headland, overlooking the ocean as the sun slowly dips into the horizon. The beauty of the highlands inspires many artisans living around the Cabot Trail. Stop in to watch them create their art, or try one of the hands-on workshops such as glass blowing at Glass Artisans Studio & Gallery (see page 145).
The Cabot Trail’s natural beauty is only outdone by the area’s unique culture and unrivalled hospitality. You’ll feel like a local after attending a ceilidh and hearing some of Cape Breton’s finest musicians. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes, because you’ll be up learning how to step or square dance with new friends in no time. By the end of your stay, you may even know a few words of the Gaelic language.
Plan to spend at least three to five days along the Cabot Trail, where you’ll discover how Nova Scotia, or “New Scotland,” got its name.

134 Not-to-be-missed experiencesThere are many special hands-on activities along the nearly 300 kilometres of the world- famous Cabot Trail. These suggestions will ensure that you miss nothing along the way.
First flights, kites, and telephonesAlexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, BaddeckExplore the life and work of this great teacher, scientist, and inventor. On display is a reproduction of Bell’s Silver Dart, the first plane ever to fly in Canada (c. 1909). Children can play games, fly kites, and try a science experiment. With Cape Breton’s first virtual reality experience, you can immerse yourself in the history of the hydrofoil and engage in an exciting race at the helm of Alexander Graham Bell’s HD-4, which broke a marine speed record in 1919 (see page 144).
Delve into la vie acadienneLes Trois Pignons, ChéticampChéticamp’s Acadian history and culture come alive through its world-famous hooked rugs and antiquities. The site also offers a genealogy resource centre, a library, and a full range of visitor information services (see page 144).
Go kayaking to evoke your inner artist in BaddeckDipping your paddle alongside seals and seabirds, surrounded by our coastal cliffs, can bring out the artist in anyone. North River Kayak Tours offers tours like The Songwriting Kayaker and The Painted Kayaker (see page 147).

Outdoor adventuresThe Cabot Trail is a nature-lover’s paradise, so get out and enjoy all it has to offer for explorers of every fitness level. Turn to page 146 for more Cabot Trail outdoor adventures.
Cape Breton Highlands National Park The park is well known for its dozens of world-class hiking trails, but don’t miss out on the newer experiences offered: “Perfect Picnic”—order a fully packed boxed lunch of local goodies to take with you on your hike; “Learn to Lobster Boil”—learn how to cook lobster while sharing tunes, stories, and recipes as you dine; or “Learn to Adventure”—discover the park’s hidden gems like magnificent views and secluded spots with exclusive guided hikes off the beaten track. To make your outdoor stay easier, book an oTENTik or equipped camping site (see pages 143 & 144).
Salmon fishing on the Margaree RiverFor generations, anglers have been lured to the Margaree’s tumbling rapids, deep pools, and still marshes. This popularity has attracted the TV show The New Fly
Franey Trail, near Ingonish
Fisher, which chose the Margaree River as its first Nova Scotia location. Arrange a fishing guide to help you try your luck. Margaree Riverview Inn, located in Margaree Forks, just 10 minutes from some of the island’s best salmon pools, has a guide available (see page 139). Or, join Jimmie Pedersen with A Great Day Fishing as this experienced fly-fishing guide takes you to some of the best spots in both the Margaree and Chéticamp rivers to cast your line. agreatdayfishing.com
Kayaking off Northern Cape BretonOne of the most spectacular paddling destinations in North America, this remote and rugged coast offers magnificent cliffs, sea caves, unique rock formations, and the occasional whale passerby. The challenging nature of this environment is only suited for experienced paddlers, and a guided tour is recommended (see pages 178 & 179 for a list of tour operators).
Whale watchingPods of Atlantic pilot whales spend their summers gorging on squid just off the shores of Pleasant Bay and Chéticamp. Book a Zodiac tour to meet and view these highly social sea creatures, which are sometimes as intrigued by you as you are by them. Along with many species of whales, chances are you’ll see porpoises, seals, and seabirds while out on the open water. The best times to see whales are in the summer and fall months (see page 176).

Puffin-viewing boat tourThese cute, stocky seabirds summer in large colonies on coastal cliffs and rocky offshore islands before making their way south in the fall. Due to the remoteness of their nesting areas, a boat tour to sites like the Bird Islands—Hertford and Ciboux—is the best way to view them. Donelda’s Bird Island Puffin Tours in Englishtown would be happy to welcome you aboard (see page 176).
Cycling the Cabot TrailNamed one of the top ten cycling destinations in the world by Lonely Planet, the Cabot Trail is a must-do on every cycling enthusiast’s itinerary. The 300 kilometres of paved roads take you along rolling terrain and up steep hills, all with a view of the open ocean. There are several tour packages available to help you make the most of this epic excursion. If you prefer an independent adventure, head to Vélo Max Cycling in Chéticamp to rent a bike and pick up cycling supplies before hitting the hills. Visit cyclenovascotia.ca to download route maps and GPS coordinates. See pages 178 & 179 for a list of tour operators.
Stand-up paddleboarding on the Margaree RiverExperience the Margaree River from the comfort of your paddleboard. Join CBWest Paddleboards as you explore this incredible body of water. Tours are available for every comfort level, from a 90-minute tour around the tributaries of East Margaree or a 2-hour tour providing a unique vantage point of Chéticamp from the water to a 3-hour paddle down the Margaree River, which is perfect for taking in a gorgeous sunset over Margaree Harbour Beach. Rentals also available. cbwestsup.com
Sail the Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere ReserveWhile visiting the lakeside community of Baddeck, set sail with Amoeba Sailing Tours or Sailing CBI to explore the Bras d’Or Lake. This large inland sea is part fresh- and part saltwater, allowing it to sustain diverse ecosystems and wildlife, including many bald eagles. The gentle fog-free waters, beautiful anchorages, and hundreds of coves and islands make the Bras d’Or Lake the perfect sailing destination (see pages 176 & 177).

Eskasoni Cultural Journeys
Discover the Island’s inland sea
Stunning scenery is a fact of life in Nova Scotia, and that is especially true in the Bras d’Or Lake region. Literally translated as “Arm of Gold,”
the name surely was inspired by the sunsets over Canada’s only inland sea. With a complex sequence of barrier beaches, rocky headlands, barachois ponds, and wetlands, it is no surprise that the area is a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Here, you can experience the heritage of some of the founding cultures of Nova Scotia. Discover what life was like thousands of years ago for the Mi’kmaq; hear stories and music and share in a traditional feast during an Eskasoni Cultural Journey. Or, learn about the lives of early Scottish settlers at the Highland Village Museum, a 43-acre l i v i n g h i s t o r y m u s e u m w h e re c o s t u m e d interpreters greet you in Gaelic (see page 154).
Eskasoni Cultural Journeys, EskasoniThe Eskasoni First Nation and the Highland Village Museum have collaborated to develop a unique multicultural tour to share their two intertwined cultures: Mi’kmaq and Gaelic. The tour explores the two distinct cultures, reflecting the common threads linking the cultures in history and present day. Experience authentic Mi’kmaw culture by visiting Goat Island and sharing a traditional feast, hearing stories and music, or learning through participation in the traditional fishing practices of the Mi’kmaq. eskasoniculturaljourneys.ca
Unexpected discoveries
St. Peter’s Canal National Historic Site
Pick up some picnic supplies and visit the St. Peter’s Canal National Historic Site (see page 154), where you will learn how the canal has provided a link between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bras d’Or Lake for over 140 years.

Bras d’Or Lake

FLEUR-DE-LIS & MARCONI TRAILS
Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site
Living history and a lively port city
The Fleur-de-lis Trail begins at the Canso Causeway and winds its way along the southeastern part of Cape Breton Island,
where Acadian fishing villages dot the coast, hugged by untouched wilderness.
From the Fleur-de-lis Trail, continue onto the Marconi Trail, where a storied past will immerse you in its rich history. Enter the largest reconstructed fortified town in North America, the 18th-century French Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. This Canadian Signature Experience offers a peek into the daily lives of the costumed interpreters’ personas (see page 163). Descend into a coal mine with a retired coal miner at the Miners Museum in Glace Bay (see page 163). At the Marconi National Historic Site, learn how the first wireless message transmitted across the Atlantic led to today’s network of global communications (see page 163).
Music is a vital part of life in this region. Feel the excitement at the award-winning Celtic Colours International Festival each fall. This Canadian Signature Experience is a nine-day Celtic music extravaganza that brings the whole island alive with music and energy. Take in one of the shows at the Louisbourg Playhouse, a theatre-in-the-round performance venue inspired by London’s 1599 Globe Theatre (see page 163).
At the port city of Sydney, enjoy a stroll along the water front boardwalk. Take a selfie with the giant fiddle standing 18 metres (60 feet) tall, and savour the flavours of fresh, chef-prepared dishes inspired by the sea at one of the local restaurants overlooking Sydney Harbour. Check out the downtown shops along Charlotte Street and don’t miss the collection of locally made one-of-a-kind masterpieces at the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design (see page 163).
LeNoir Forge Museum, ArichatSituated on the historic Arichat waterfront, this 18th-century French blacksmith shop features a working forge, demonstrations, and a gift shop. For the history buff, the site also includes a community archive, genealogy centre, and a boat barn (see page 162).
Two Rivers Wildlife Park, HuntingtonGet up close and personal with over 50 native and non-native species of wildlife like lynx and black bear at this family-friendly park and wilderness area. Enjoy the wagon and sleigh rides, playground, petting zoo, and U-fish pond. Take a nature break by exploring the hiking and cross-country ski trails (see page 162).
Savoy Theatre, Glace Bay, and Highland Arts Theatre (HAT), SydneyThese historic theatres play host to a variety of performances each year, from comedy to theatre to music. Check out the schedule of events and be sure to attend a show when you’re in town (see page 163).
Fins and Fiddles Expedition Cruise One Ocean ExpeditionsImmerse yourself in this Canadian Signature Experience with 11 days of nature, music, Maritime culture, and seafaring fun. The Nova Scotia leg leaves from Louisbourg on a small expedition cruise ship; you wake up to the mystique of remote Sable Island, where wild horses run free on grassy dunes and grey seals bark from sandy shores of waters littered with 350 shipwrecks.
Itinerary stops include Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Îles-de-la-Madeleine and Anticosti Island in Québec. oneoceanexpeditions.com

Follow the footsteps of our settlersLighthouse and Old Town trails, LouisbourgEvery footstep tells a story on these historic trails, which offer impressive views of the Fortress of Louisbourg and its rugged coast. The 2-kilometre Lighthouse Trail starts at the Louisbourg Lighthouse and winds through forests and wetlands along the coast where soldiers once stood guard protecting Louisbourg Harbour. The nearby 2.25-kilometre Old Town Trail lies just outside the fortress walls, with inter pretive panels telling the story of the people who once lived and worked there. The trail begins at the Stella Maris Cemetery and ends near the site of the original fortified town (see page 164).

An outdoor enthusiast’s paradise
Stretching from the edges of the Halifax area to the Canso Causeway, Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore is a place where historically themed
attractions, pristine wilderness, comforting cuisine, and a natural paradise come together to create a one-of-a-kind travel experience.
The 100 Wild Islands are a group of over 280 pristine wild islands, between Clam Harbour Beach Provincial Park and Taylor Head Provincial Park. Noted for their historical and ecological significance, most of these islands are now protected in perpetuity. Featured in Canadian Geographic, these islands offer sheltered coves of turquoise water with white sand beaches, dramatic windswept headlands, and unique boreal rainforests, bogs, and barrens. A rich diversity of seabirds, songbirds, and shorebirds also call this area home. Book a kayaking trip with Coastal Adventures, set sail aboard an open whaleboat with Windansea, or relax in a traditional Cape Island boat with Murphy’s Camping on the Ocean to experience this pristine environment. 100wildislands.ca
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. See how a fisherman supported a family of fifteen in the tiny homestead that is now the Fisherman’s Life Museum in Oyster Pond (see page 172).
The Eastern Shore is ideal for a scenic seaside getaway.
Sober Island Brewing, Sheet HarbourEnjoy Sober Island Brewing’s signature craft brew, Oyster Stout, made with Nova Scotia oysters, while touring the brewery and dining on delicious pub fare of local seafood at The Henley House Pub & Restaurant, located in the same building. They are members of the Good Cheer Trail and the Seafood Trail, respectively (see page 173).
Black Sheep Gallery, West JeddoreThis colourful fish-plant-turned-art-gallery on the shores of Jeddore Harbour includes works from over 40 well-known folk artists, past and present, including Maud Lewis, Joe Sleep, and Barry Colpitts (see page 172).
Hope for Wildlife, SeaforthExplore the Learning Centre and Wildlife Gardens and get a chance to meet the stars of the TV series as they continue their work to rescue and rehabilitate approximately 1500 injured and orphaned wild animals every year (see page 172).
Eastern Shore Cold Waters Seafood Festival at Memory Lane Heritage Village, Lake CharlotteMeet local fishermen and restaurant owners, indulge in local mussels, clams, oysters, and lobster, mingle with locals, sample traditional flavours such as Solomon Gundy and hot-smoked salmon, hear live music, and enjoy hands-on activities like painting your own buoy, dory rowing, and lobster trap building.
