There is never a shortage of things to do in Nova Scotia. Our attractions celebrate Nova Scotia’s best, from sports heroes to legendary musicians, and reconstructed fortress towns to seaside vineyards overlooking the world’s highest tides.

We have over 7,600 km of coastline so its only natural that we like to get out on the water, whether it be kayaking, canoeing, fishing, rafting or spending the day at the beach with family and friends.
