Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore. We have an unspoiled
beauty that our visitors want to not only view but to
experience. There are many outdoor activities for
those who want adventure and to explore and truly
understand life by the sea as well as opportunities to
deeply savour the stories, music, charm, and cuisine
that are all an important part of our historic coastal
communities.
The Eastern Shore has much to offer—a unique
chance to experience the natural unspoiled beauty
of miles and miles of coastline, glorious rivers,
and tranquil lakes, as well as stirring music and
inspiring arts and culture that resonate with the
personalities, character, and mosaic of our people.
We’ve separated our shore into regions to make
it easier for you to plan your visit. We encourage
you to venture off the beaten path and travel a side
road where you will uncover a memorable treasure
waiting just for you. Eastern Shore moments will
turn into memories that linger and become a part
of your best vacation nostalgia that compel you to
return time after time.

The Country Harbour Ferry is a 12-car
cable ferry named Stormont which
connects Port Bickerton with Country
Harbour. In the summer the ferry
departs every 15 minutes. During the
rest of the year, the ferry departs on the
hour from the Country Harbour side and
on the half hour from the Port Bickerton
side. Signs are posted to notify travellers
if the ferry is not running or you may
phone 902-387-2200. A toll of $7.00
is charged so please have cash on
hand. (There is no debit machine on the
ferry.) This ferry is all part of the Eastern
Shore experience, so feel free to get out
of your car, stretch your legs, and talk
to the crew during this short crossing.
You’ll be glad you did!
If you’ve missed the ferry, or prefer to
drive, coming from Halifax, continue
along Highway 7 until you reach
Highway 348 at Melrose-Country
Harbour Cross Roads (about 10
minutes). Turn right onto Highway 348
and continue for about 10 minutes until
you reach Highway 316.
Please be aware that cell phone
coverage will be limited in some areas.
The weather along the moody Atlantic
ocean can change quickly so always
be prepared with additional layers of
clothing—no matter what the season.
Contrary to popular belief, we do suffer
from heat waves during the summer
months! If air conditioning is a priority
for you, be sure to call ahead and ask
if your accommodations are equipped
with it.
Salt Marsh Trail, Cole Harbour
Tips for Cycling the Eastern Shore
1. Check The Weather Then Forget It
Weather changes every five minutes
in Nova Scotia so be prepared for
everything. Got fog? Lucky you! There
are many bonuses when cycling the
coast, one of which is nature’s best
kept beauty secret—the Fog Facial.
A wonderful way to revitalize your skin.
2. Living On The Wild Wild Coast
Relax! Enjoy the unhurried pace of the
Eastern Shore and stop to chat with the
locals—they’re super friendly. You will
also want to stop in at any café or store
you come across on your route as there
may not be another one for a while. Be
sure to pack plenty of water and snacks
for your trip.
3. Which Way To The Beach?
Travelling west, every road on your left
leads to a beach. Travelling east, every
road on your right leads to a beach. Pack
a suit and go cool off in the surf! Another
added bonus of cycling the coast…a
chilly sea salt soak will invigorate your
tired legs after a long ride.
4. All Geared Up
A popular misconception is that Nova
Scotia is flat—not so on the Eastern
Shore. You will encounter long stretches
of glorious rolling hills but at some point
you will come up against a biter. Don’t
poop yourself out too early. Use all your
gears on the steep hills and remember,
there is no shame in the “Grannie Gear.”
As well, there are bike repair services
along the shore in various areas.
5. Don’t Forget To Look Around
With so many awe-inspiring coastal
views and points of interest, be sure
to hop off your bike once in a while
and grab your camera. Take in your
surroundings, breathe, and just be in the
moment. Capture this amazing maritime
experience so you can relive it again and
again for years to come.

Lawrencetown Beach
Murphy Cove
Hiking
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned
hiker, whether you prefer a leisurely stroll
or a challenging trek, you’ll find many
great trail systems throughout the Eastern
Shore. For self-guided walks and hikes,
visit trails.gov.ns.ca or www.gcrda.ns.ca.
Near Spry Bay, ‘The Friends of Taylor
Head’ lead many free hiking tours in what
is considered by many to be one of the
finest coastal trail systems in North
America. For a schedule of the 2016
events planned at Taylor Head Provincial
Park, visit www.friendsoftaylorhead.com.
Birding
There are more than 236 species of
birds that live in or pass through Nova
Scotia, and the myriad of islands that
dot the Eastern Shore coastline offer
great vantage points for seeing them.
You’ll find a gull colony on Half Island,
just north of Canso. Bald eagles can
be seen in the salt marshes near Grand
Desert and West Chezzetcook. The bird
sanctuary behind Martinique Beach
is a winter home for Canada geese
and black ducks, and is an important
nesting area for the endangered piping
plover. Other birding highlights around
the region include Liscomb for spruce
grouse and the bogs along Tor Bay.
‘The Friends of Taylor Head’ lead several
free birding tours during the spring and
summer months as well as an Annual
Christmas Bird Count each December.
Canoeing and Kayaking
The Musquodoboit River’s whitewater
class 2 rapids present a rush for kayakers
and canoeists, whether you’re a novice
or an expert. If you are a novice, the
Eastern Shore is home to one of the East
Coast’s most experienced sea kayaking
outfitters, Coastal Adventures, in Tangier
(902-772-2774 / coastaladventures.com).
Kayak rentals, lessons, and guided tours
are all available here.
Diving
There are more than 500 shipwrecks just
off the shores of Guysborough County
and you’ll find many excellent locations
along Chedabucto Bay where you can
dive under the water and explore them.
For more information on diving on the
Eastern Shore, visit the Causeway Diver
Supply in Auld’s Cove (902-747-2429 /
causewaydiver.ca).
Fishing
Surfing
Some of the world’s best seafood is
found in our lakes, rivers, and coastal
waters. Try your hand at catching your
own supper; just check with local
outfitters and tackle shops for details
on seasons, rivers, limits, and license
requirements. For two designated days
in winter and two designated days
in spring, it is legal to fish (except for
salmon) without a license. 2016 dates
were not available at the time of this
printing but can be found by searching
“Sport Fishing” on novascotia.ca. The
St. Mary’s River Interpretive Centre
in Sherbrooke (902-522-2099)
supports a catch-and-release program,
celebrating and protecting the majestic
Atlantic salmon.
Half of all Atlantic hurricanes pass through
these waters—creating some exceptional
surfing conditions at Lawrencetown and
Martinique beaches. Whether you’re a
beginner looking to ride your first wave
or a life-long tow-in addict seeking a
monster barrel ride, the surfing scene
here will make you grin. For equipment
rentals and lessons, check out Happy
Dude’s Surf Emporium in Three Fathom
Harbour (902-827-4962) or in

For the Love of Food!
Fresh seafood, fishcakes, and pies, oh my! As you journey along the Eastern Shore,
you’ll be sure to discover many great places to stop and sample the local fare. We’ve
included a few of our favourites below. Bon appétit!
Rose and Rooster Bakery and Café
Riverside Dining Room
Sandwiched between the surfing haven of
Lawrencetown and the pastoral Acadian
villages of Grand Desert and West
Chezzetcook, this bakery/café serves up
urban lattes and sophisticated sandwiches in
a rural and relaxed environment. The walls are
decorated with local art, the deck is soaked
in sunshine, and the squares are divine. Pedal
down from the nearby rail trail or start off a
fabulous weekend with brunch featuring
fishcakes or a smoked salmon eggs benny.

Nova Scotia seafood, as well as local

the ambiance at the Riverside Dining Room
is inspiring and entertaining. Dine by the
floor-to-ceiling windows where you can
observe the birds that frequent the feeders
on the banks of the Liscomb River. Or, enjoy
your meal outside in full view of the house
specialty, Planked Atlantic Salmon, being
prepared the traditional way, slowly cooked
on smoldering coals. The Riverside Dining
Room accepts reservations for parties of eight
or more and non-resort guests are welcome.

La Cuisine de Brigitte
You won’t feel like a stranger at La Cuisine
de Brigette, or the Acadian Tearoom, as the
locals call it. If she’s not at the wharf picking
up fresh lobster, owner Donna Goldsworthy
will greet you with a hearty welcome as you
are seated in this tiny café that is part of the
Acadian House museum complex. Choose
from local favourites as well as traditional
Acadian fare, but don’t leave without a slice
of coconut cream pie and tea that comes in a
proper-sized tea pot, hot and strong, the way
it should be. Highway 107, Exit 20 to

This is a coast of solitude, of rugged wilderness, of idyllic sheltered coves, and dramatic
windswept headlands. A place where you can wander for hours and not see another
soul; where Mother Nature’s handiwork has sculpted the land around you. We’ve picked
a few of our favourites for you but there is so much more for you to discover.
Taylor Head Provincial Park
Martinique Beach
Perfect for a long beach stroll, listening to
the waves caressing the shore, and watching
the seabirds ride the whitecaps. Martinique
Beach Provincial Park is the longest sandy
beach in Nova Scotia stretching out to be a
5-km crescent of white sand. Martinique is a
protected area for the piping plover, as well as
a wildlife refuge for migratory waterfowl. East

wind-swept peninsula jutting 6.5 km into the
Atlantic Ocean. The park’s hiking trails and
walks provide access to a variety of natural

Imagine a day where you are moved by the history of the local Acadian people; where
your heart is warmed by stories of lighthouse keepers of old; where you walk in the
footsteps of the historic settlers of this shore.
Canso Island National Historic Site

offers a glimpse into the past with exhibits
and an island walking tour covering 400 years

fort and houses of some of the island’s most
prominent residents. Learn about the trials
and achievements of the hardy people who
made this place their home. Canso
Out of the Fog Museum
Don’t let the size of this little museum fool
you, for inside this volunteer-curated and

Keepers of the Beacons Society maintain
the museum. Its members are former
lightkeepers and their families, fishermen,
and others with close ties to this once
essential occupation. In addition to their
Hands-on History Program, Sherbrooke Village
History buffs will find the Eastern Shore a
fascinating destination rich in stories that
make up this region’s past. A vast physical and
cultural history is well documented at our many
museums, historical sites, and interpretive trails
found in the area. And don’t forget to ask the
locals! They are often the source of some of the
best stories you’ll ever hear.
Memory Lane Heritage Village

Historic Sherbrooke Village
Located along the shores of the beautiful St.
Mary’s River, historic Sherbrooke Village is a

Scotian village from 1860 to pre-WW1. With
its costumed interpreters breathing life into
the past, it is a wonderful place to spend a
day. Be sure to visit the woodturner shop, the
blacksmith and the ambrotype photography

and forestry-related history. It houses a large
collection of tools and other handcrafted
artifacts from local Black and Acadian
settlements.

Guysborough Historical Society, whose staff
are on hand to welcome you and help you
with your exploration of the past. Be sure to
pick up a guide to the Guysborough Historic

beautiful seaside village. Guysborough
Just because
As you enjoy all that the Eastern Shore has to offer, we had to mention these rather
unique experiences you may not want to miss.
Giant Hummingbird Sculpture
A local self-taught artist and nature lover, Roberta (Bobby) Annand, wanted Musquodoboit to
have something in the community that would stand out—the biggest something. At age 92,
she commissioned the creation of a giant hummingbird sculpture of her own design At a May
2013 dedication ceremony, the artist’s vision was realized with the unveiling of a ruby-throated
hummingbird. The hummingbird is more than eight feet from its beak to the tip of its tail and
it is believed to be the largest outdoor hummingbird sculpture of its kind in North America.
CornerStone Park, 2 Elm Drive, Middle Musquodoboit
Playground at Upper Musquodoboit
Come play on Atlantic Canada’s largest wooden playground. Giant old-school castle-like
structures are begging to be climbed and played on in this hidden gem. Kids and adults alike
will enjoy the impressive wooden towers, wavy slides, and themed sections for imaginative
play. 8747 Highway 224, Upper Musquodoboit
Harbour Breezes Daylilies
This is a truly amazing place to stop. The gardens are on a south-facing hillside with beautiful
views overlooking the eastern arm at the head of Jeddore Harbour. With about three acres of
land, pathways, rock walls, and stairways lead visitors in and out of a variety of formal, semiformal, Japanese style and eclectic gardens. The gardens open the second week of May until
the first week of September each year.

People of the Eastern Shore
Hope Swinimer, Hope for Wildlife
Natural Resources determined she needed a
permit, but none existed. In true Hope fashion,
she worked with DNR to establish a licensing
process. In 1997, she moved to Winnie’s Way
in Seaforth. Hope remembers, “Seaforth along
the Eastern Shore was not only the perfect
location for a rehab, but it reminded me so
much of Argyle that it just felt right.”
Born and raised in Argyle, Yarmouth County,
Hope Swinimer spent most of her childhood
exploring the landscape of Nova Scotia.
Dartmouth to Musquodoboit
Harbour and Musquodoboit Valley
She always longed to be near the sea and
wanted to work with animals. She took in her
first rehab animal, a robin attacked by a cat,
while working as a manager at the Dartmouth
Veterinary Hospital. The veterinarians didn’t
know what to do with the injured bird, so Hope
took it home. Caring for the bird inspired her to
learn to help injured wildlife. Before long, she
earned the International Wildlife Rehabilitation
Association’s basic wildlife rehabilitation
certificate.
While sinking your toes in the soft sand at the longest sandy beach in the province
(Martinique), you’ll find it hard to believe you’re just a little over a 40-minute drive
from the hustle and bustle of downtown Halifax.
This section of the Eastern Shore boasts several other beautiful beaches as well,
including Lawrencetown Beach, an international surfing destination. On this shore,
we’ll offer you as much or as little activity as you like. Hunt for beach treasures in
the sand—or search for the best waves out in the cool waters of the Atlantic. The
adventure, or the relaxation, is yours to enjoy.
“I had a very good job offer as a wildlife
rehabilitator in Ontario, but when I thought
about leaving Nova Scotia, I realized I simply
couldn’t,” says Hope. She committed to
opening a wildlife rehabilitation centre in the
place she passionately calls home.
Venture onto highway 357 and you’ll be welcomed by the friendly folks who call
the Musquodoboit Valley their home. Enjoy a bit of live theatre or fine musical
entertainment at the Bicentennial Theatre before bedding down at a quaint bed and
breakfast for the night.
Fisherman’s Cove, Eastern Passage
Five years later, the Eastern Shore Wildlife
Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre officially
became the Hope for Wildlife Society, a
registered charity. Annually, the organization
takes 3,500 wild animals into care, assists
10,000 callers through its wildlife helpline,

Eastern Shore
In her first year, she rehabbed about 40 animals
at her house. By 1996, the Department of
The Eastern Shore Wildlife Rescue and
Rehabilitation Centre became the province’s
first privately owned wildlife rehabilitation
centre. Demand for the centre’s services soon
outgrew the property. In 2001, she relocated
to a larger property that would accommodate
future growth.

Giant Hummingbird Sculpture
Cornerstone Park, 2 Elm Drive,
Middle Musquodoboit
www.musquodoboitvalley.ca
A local self-taught artist and nature lover,
Roberta (Bobby) Annand (1920–2014) wanted
Musquodoboit to have something in the
community that would stand out—the biggest
something. At age 92, she commissioned
AtlantexCreativeWorks to create a giant
hummingbird sculpture of her own design.
At a May 2013 dedication ceremony held
at CornerStone Park, the artist’s vision was
realized with the unveiling of a ruby-throated
hummingbird. The hummingbird is more than
eight feet from its beak to the tip of its tail
and it is believed to be the largest outdoor
hummingbird sculpture of its kind in North
America.

As you meander along this section of the Eastern Shore, you’re sure to sense the
history coming to life all around you. While several of the area’s museums focus their
exhibits on the past, you’ll find that sense of history in our very way of life as well. The
old-fashioned pleasures are still valued here: community picnics, church suppers,
fishing right off the wharf. And just because you’re visiting doesn’t mean you can’t
take part. In fact, we’re certain you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

Meryl Atkinson, The Henley House Pub
and Restaurant, Sheet Harbour
throughout the province for her cooking. She
served many sea captains who walked up
over the hill from the dock. The Henley’s son,
William (Bill); his wife, Helen; and their six
children bought the house in 1948. Meryl and
Brad became close to the Henley family, and
it was a natural step for Meryl to purchase
the home after Bill and Helen passed. It
was the perfect place to open a pub and
restaurant in their community.
Meryl Atkinson rarely stops when it comes to
doing her part to grow tourism on the Eastern
Shore. She is a team player and has been part
of the industry for over two decades. She
grew up in Wales and met her husband, Dr.
Brad Atkinson, when he was completing his
studies in Cardiff. Brad was originally from
Colpitts Settlement, New Brunswick. In 1993,
the couple and their four children moved back
to his Maritime roots, settling in Sheet Harbour.
The Henley House was built in 1916 by Roy
and Loretta Henley and for many years it was
called The East Inn. Loretta was well known
Meryl took great pride adding special touches
to renovating the home. With much love and
respect, she opened The Henley House Pub
and Restaurant in 2009. The halls of the Henley
House are lined with family photographs
and many The East Inn artifacts. Some of the
original floors and woodwork remain, adding
to its charm and comfortable atmosphere.
“Those in the industry know it is not an easy
task to own a restaurant and it becomes a
lifestyle for you and your family,” says Meryl. “I
was never a good cook, so we all benefit from
eating meals prepared by a chef! We feel
lucky to live and work in a small community of
colourful characters on the beautiful Eastern
Shore. The availability of fresh local seafood,
produce, wine, and craft beer make it easy
for our visitors to enjoy themselves, especially
on a summer’s day, sitting on the deck and
admiring the ocean view.”

Leigh McFarlane, The Soap Company
of Nova Scotia
My purpose in life is to be content and help
others be content, too. In the fall of 2013, I
made a big life change and thought long and
hard to come up with “the thing” that would
allow me to honour my purpose in life. That
“thing” turned out to be “make soap.” So, I
started The Soap Company of Nova Scotia and
embarked on an amazing journey of creativity,
exploration, and community that I laugh and
learn in every single day!
Sherbrooke to Canso
“But I love the waves as I pull about, nose into the channel. My Sally keeps the
supper and a bed for me, down in Fogarty’s Cove.” —Stan Rogers
If you’re travelling this route between July 1 and 3, 2016, chances are you’re on
the road to Stanfest. The Stan Rogers Folk Festival, now in its 21st year, sees over
12,000 music fans descend on the village of Canso each year. This three-day
festival is a spirited celebration where talented folk, bluegrass, country, and rock
songwriting musicians all come together to honour the all-too-brief life of one of
Canada’s greatest songwriters, Stan Rogers. This Canadian music legend, although
born in Ontario, was inspired by the pristine, rugged landscape of this area and its
honest-to-goodness hardworking inhabitants. You will be, too.
Rally that Gives, Sherbrooke
Each and every product is handmade from
scratch in small batches with tonnes of love...
the most important ingredient! I use water
from the studio’s forest brook and seek local
ingredients to add special qualities, too.
Speaking of ingredients, except for one, each
is 100% natural. Which one? Lye. No lye = no
soap, it’s just needed. That said, I dream of
making my own natural lye and am working
on that at my studio in Port Hillford.
“I’d love for you to join me there for a tour and
hands-on workshop. What do you say?”
Soap making is a blend of science and art that
allows us to create beautiful products to help
us be content every day. It’d be grand to share
the fun and learning with you this summer!

Get outfitted in period costume (1860–1900)

Ambrotype photo studio. Ambrotype is one
of the earliest forms of photography in which
a positive image is created on a sheet of glass
using the wet plate collodion process. This
is the one time in your life where you will be
asked not to smile for a photograph—just like
in 1860, you will be required to sit very still
for 10 to 30 seconds, making a smile almost
impossible to hold. The result will be a photo
that is hard to distinguish from those actually
taken back in the 1860s—a unique souvenir
indeed!

Canso to Guysborough
to Auld’s Cove
Your appreciation for the natural wonders of the world will increase by leaps and
bounds as you wind your way around the dips and bends in the road that give way to
incredible coastal vistas. This is Chedabucto Bay, and it’s one of the province’s bestkept secrets. Your prize at the end of this beautiful drive is the hospitality that awaits
you in the charming village of Guysborough. At first glance, the place looks innocent
enough and you might never guess that they brew incredible-tasting beer here and
roast several varieties of fabulous coffee. And you can enjoy either while taking in
the view on one of the decks lining the colourful waterfront. On Wednesday nights
during the summer months, this view includes a weekly ceilidh which features the
talents of several young musicians and dancers.
Descriptive signage in English, French, and
German. Open Thursday to Monday, midJune to mid-September, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
The community pride swells in the communities along this section of the Eastern
Shore. Take in an annual festival like Festival Savalette in Larry’s River to experience it
for yourself. The same pride is evident in the preservation of the area’s history that can
be found in community-run museums like the Scotia Ferry II Museum in Venus Cove.
As you travel along the section of roadside that borders the Strait of Canso, you’ll
realize this was a truly beautiful way to end your tour of the mainland before making
your way across the Canso Causeway and onto Cape Breton Island.
