Nova Scotia Holidays
The province's mainland is the Nova Scotia peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, including numerous bays and estuaries. Nowhere in Nova Scotia is more than 40 miles from the ocean. Cape Breton Island, a large island to the northeast of the Nova Scotia mainland, is also part of the province, as is Sable Island, a small island notorious for its shipwrecks, approximately 109 miles from the province's southern coast.
Nova Scotia vacations are truly worlds-away from anything you’ve ever experienced. Renowned for the highest tides in the world at the Bay of Fundy, award-winning vineyards scattered about the province, nationally recognized chefs at the helm of Nova Scotia restaurants and over 700 festivals annually, Nova Scotia is a place of remarkable natural beauty and thriving culture.
Arguably, Nova Scotia is best known for its music. While popular music from many genres has experienced almost two decades of explosive growth and success in Nova Scotia, the province remains best known for its folk and traditional based music. The traditional - or folk- music is Scottish in character and traditions from Scotland are kept true to form, in some cases more so than in Scotland. This is especially true of the island of Cape Breton, one of the major international centres for Celtic music.
Halifax Holidays
Halifax, the capital city of Nova Scotia, is steepedin history, rich in culture and refreshingly cosmopolitan. Harper's Bazaarmagazine recently rated Halifax as one of North America's "hippest towns".
Digby Holidays
The Town of Digby has been an active fishing and lumber producing community throughout the years. Famous for delicious scallops harvested from local waters, spectacular vistas of The Annapolis Basin from the waterfront, clear-crisp air and of course the incredible tides of 28 to 35 feet in the harbour.
