The Best Things to See and Do Along the Eastern Shore-
From Halifax to Cape Breton and PEI.
This year is the 100th Anniversary at Anne of Green Gables .... so plan your road trip from Halifax along the Eastern Shore to Cape Breton and then on to Prince Edward Island!
The ocean views along the Eastern Shore are spectacular as you meander through the colourful coastal communities and fishing villages. See how each community has been uniquely shaped by the sea. From folkart to fishing huts, there is a distinctive Maritime culture filled with old world charm and history. Discover the heritage of the native Mi'kmaq and follow in the footsteps of the Old World explorers; Champlain,Savalette and Prince Henry Sinclair.
Ask our friendly bed and breakfast hosts or our inn-keepers for a packed lunch to take along with you so that you can picnic along the way!
There are fabulous hiking trails at Taylor Head Provincial Park, and you can spend time at Tor Bay beach, collecting sea-urchin shells and perhaps catch sight of a grey seal.
So discover the child in yourself- collect treasures along the beach, and fill your pockets with sea shells! And just to make sure that all of these special memories do not fade, take your camera too.
