Nova Scotia, Canada's Ocean Playground

Nova Scotia, Canada's Ocean Playground

With a breathtaking array of diverse landscapes, a rich cultural heritage, and well-deserved reputation for seafood and culinary delights, Nova Scotia has got a lot to offer.

Where to stay:

Fox Harb'r Resort: Perched on Nova Scotia’s scenic Northumberland Shore, Fox Harb’r Resort feels as though it’s a world away. Partake in a traditional lobster boil following a winetasting in the resort’s private vineyard. Tee off on the championship course designed by Golf Hall of Famer, Graham Cooke. And take a few laps in the junior Olympic-sized pool – or a few miles around Fox Trot Trail. Then retreat to a well-appointed suite, not surprisingly equipped with distinctive amenities and East Coast charm. Exclusive amenities available for Black Dog Luxury Travel clients.

The province’s coastline, stretching over an impressive 13,000 kilometers, offers ample opportunities for beach hopping. The diversity of beaches—which range from the family-friendly, warm waters of Martinique Beach to the surfer's paradise at Lawrencetown Beach—ensures that every day spent by the sea is as unique as the last.

For those drawn to the majestic beauty of marine life, Nova Scotia’s whale watching experiences are unparalleled. You can spend a tranquil morning watching awe-inspiring humpback, minke, and fin whales embark on their mystical migration, a truly breathtaking spectacle.

Kayaking enthusiasts will find their bliss among Nova Scotia’s rugged coastlines and serene inland waterways. Whether it's the tranquil waters near the iconic Peggy's Cove or the untamed natural arches and sea stacks, there’s a paddling adventure waiting at every turn.

Hikers, too, will rejoice at the abundance of trails threading through the province. From the challenging terrains on the Cabot Trail, offering sweeping views of where land meets sea, to the stunning highland seascapes of the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the province is a patchwork of picturesque paths waiting to be explored.
