On Nova Scotia's Great South Coast - nearer to the equator than the North Pole!
Above left is Lunenburg harbour. Lunenburg is a key tourist destination spot, and has been featured in many movies and TV shows like Jesse Stone. Recently, the TV seriees, 'Haven,' a Stephen King Sci-fi thriller, was shot on location there. It debuted July 9th. We have a 'News blurb' on it in 'Archives.'
If you're an art lover, there are 17 galleries - if you love fine food, there are many restaurants, including Trattoria Della Nona, voted 'Best in the East' in a recent survey [see story in 'News']. Lunenburg's history is rich in architecture and marine activity. Don't miss The Fisherman's Museum of the Atlantic.
Above right is looking out Mahone Bay harbour at night. Founded in 1753, Mahone Bay has one of the finest harbours to be found anywhere, with dozens and dozens of spectacular islands spread across it like jewels. Go to this excellent map, courtesy of the Mahone Islands Conservation Association, or 'MICA.' If this site doesn't make you want to get here as fast as you can, nothing will.
Mahone Bay's history is one filled with boat and ship construction [this is an excellent article]. Sadly those days are gone. Today, however, it has taken on a new look and ambiance, with a myriad of gift, antique and art shops, interspersed with fine avenues for dining and over-nighting. Go rent a kyack and see why we love to call it 'home.' Stay a few days and you'll want to stay a lifetime. Check out The Mahone Bay Settlers' Museum, for a glimpse into our colourful and interesting past.

By the way, the capital of Nova Scotia, Halifax, is the same distance from New York, as it is to Bermuda. Nova Scotia is ten times the size of New Jersey, with about 10% of the Garden State's population. This is an excellent site to go to -it's Southshorenow's 'What's Happening' page, and there is abundant information to see on moving here and perhaps building your ocean-front home and setting up your dream business! Costs nothing to look. Nova Scotia... as they say, "So much to sea...." Coastal Winds Realty of Lunenburg has a terriffic 'facts' page. Click here to see it.
Take a Nova Scotia tour, and roam through Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Chester, Bridgewater [Wow, what a beautiful slide show along the LaHave River that bisects this slightly inland town] , and surfing along Nova Scotia's Great South Coast.
