Nova Scotia
I love Nova Scotia. This founding province of Canada is known for all things nature and sea life. This Canadian Maritime province, meaning ‘New Scotland, ’ entices visitors with the ebb and flow of its beautiful waters, blueberries, apples, and lobster galore. Whether you’re headed here for a multi-generational family trip (like I did), a road trip, a lobster feast, or you’re grabbing your gaggle of girlfriends to find a land of adventure, Nova Scotia will not disappoint.
My Favorite Things To Do in Nova Scotia
- Eat lobster!! Nova Scotia’s lobster is the best in the world so make sure you attend the Lobster Crawl – a festival that is all about this delectable crustacean.
- Halifax Citadel: Where we spent some time doing our best to make the guards crack a smile at – because, why not?
- The Bay of Fundy: The tides found here are unique and most definitely destination-worthy. The spot alone spreads its claim to fame of having the highest tidal range in the world.
- Road tripping: Drive the scenic highways past lighthouses, rocky beaches and lobster boats – picturesque doesn’t even cut it.
- Cabot Trail: Hiking the highlands on the Cabot Trail – whether you have one day or five, this experience is totally worth it!
