Your
Nova Scotia vacation couldn't be spent in a better place than Shelburne
County, the "heart
of the South Shore".
Nothing you've heard about our magnificent oceanside
environment
compares to actually being here and seeing it for yourself.
From
our silver sand beaches to our rugged and rocky coastline dotted with
our many lighthouses, from our working waterfront fishery to our serene
lakes and rivers. Many who visit us come
back again, some to make their homes here.
Our secret to
hospitality....it's in our nature!
The
Lighthouse Route journeys through an unforgettable landscape of coastal
beauty and historic charm that has captured the hearts and minds of
travelers for generations.
In June, the county Lobster
Festival gets under full swing. July is full of
events
featuring the annual Founders' Days , Women's
Harmony Bazaar a festival of Women and Song, plus
Canada Day celebrations in
Clarks
Harbour and Lockeport,
regattas and sail races,
the waterfront Parade of Lights. In August
Shelburne County is host to two exhibitions plus the popular Lockeport Sea Derby, and the Shag Harbour UFO Incident Festival.
September features our very own Whirligig Festival and Lights
Along the Shore.
All year long watch our events
page for community breakfasts and suppers, plus
live music
& theatre at the Osprey
Arts Centre all year long.
About two
hours from Halifax, the area features pristine beaches, fresh water
rivers, woodlands and ocean vistas. It is rich in history and alive
with arts and culture.
Here you can find
wonderful places to
stay, activities , including
kayaking, boating, guided walking tours, museums, shopping
& dining. Nearby there
are terrific birding spots, lighthouses
and beaches.

its finest and we know you'll love
