"Coast-FM...smooooth, sassy, sexy, sensible - soon....
The world's easiest sounds from the world's most beautiful coast...."

'Sting, The Ronnettes, Sinatra, The Beatles, Michael Buble,  Diana Krall, The Stylistics, Anne Murray, Lightfoot, The Jets, Chicago, The Motels, The Beach Boys, The BeeGees and hundreds more world-class acts...on a world-class station....Coast-FM.'


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.

Bridgewater...Chester...Liverpool...Lunenburg...Mahone Bay...Peggy's Cove and dozens and dozens of colourful, gorgeous inlets in-between....These are the places you'll find on the Great South Coast of Nova Scotia....'About Us' will tell you a lot more [Well, we are reconstructing it!].

'What's Happening' features organizations, churches, hospitals locally,  as well as up-coming events and festivities.  'About Us' is a tour of the area, with  all kinds of pictures, past and present, along with airport conditions, ferry schedules, school closings and much more. We'll take you all along, up and down, our Great South Coast. 'News'  is an on-going discussion on how this radio station is progressing, and we have added links to major networks,  North American sports, news and financial stations/papers and the local papers.  'Listen' is just that - audio clips of what 'Coast-FM' will sound like in real time. We hope you will enjoy them!

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. Many, many other videos of our special part of the world thanks to the folks at 'YouTube.'  Check this one out on Mahone Bay's Oak Island - it is truly one of the world's great mysteries!

"We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have,
of which we should be eternally grateful." - Unknown. Our soldiers unselfishly put their lives on the line every minute of every day, because they love our country, our way of life, and the desire to be free. Our freedoms are only possible because of their great sacrifices. Thank you, Canada's finest, from all of us 'back home.' Also, see our 'Coast Comment' in 'News.'  And a special 'Thanks' to Bridgewater Mayor Carroll Publicover and Air Force reservists who are placing yellow ribbons to honour our troops.

Coast FM is in the process of applying for a commercial FM license to broadcast an  “easy listening” format 24 hours daily.  We will operate from beautiful Mahone Bay and link up to a North American satellite, which means we will be heard from Halifax to Honolulu,  Voglers Cove to Vancouver - and all points in between. Because we will be promoting the South Shore 24/7, this means - for the first time - that millions of people who've never before heard of us, will discover this unique and special part of the world. This kind of publicity has here-to-fore never existed.

 

Coast FM will be as unique as the South Shore itself and dedicated to listeners currently  limited to radio formats very different from ours.  And also dedicated to all our seasonal visitors, past and future, who can now make the South Shore their listening paradise year 'round.  Dedicated to those unique friends who have chosen to call the South Shore of Nova Scotia home over any other place in the world.   And dedicated to a business clientele who long for a unique new advertising outlet which will cater to their demographic.

 

Our easy listening radio station combined with our website will offer an ongoing venue for the tasteful promotion of the attractions, events, people and businesses of this very special part of the world.


Go to the 'About Us' section for info on our part of the world, and how to get here.  That's Mahone Bay directly to the right....and there are the famous three churches, certainly one of the most photographed scenes in all of Canada!

Coast-FM was featured in the lead story on the front page of the Bridgewater Bulletin and The Progress-Enterprise published Nov. 24, 2008.

It has since been featured on CBC-News, The Chronicle Herald  and gone across Canada on the CP Wire Services.
We want to thank Lighthouse Publishing for their fair and objective coverage of this story.
