Nova Scotia is a hidden gem located on the east coast of Canada, boasting some of the most breathtaking coastlines in the world. With its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and crystal clear waters, the Atlantic sea coast is a haven for nature lovers, adventurers, and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Let’s take a closer look at some of the stunning coastlines that Nova Scotia has to offer.

Bay of Fundy

This body of water flows between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, in and out every 6 hours creating the highest rising tides in the world. The coastline ranges from red mud flats of the Minas basin to dramatic cliffs with incredible panoramic sunset views. When the tide is out, fossil hunters flock to places like Joggins Beach and gem seekers will brave the cliffs to get to Amethyst Cove. Bordering the fertile agricultural lands of the Annapolis Valley, you would only be a short 10-minute drive into the nearest town on the valley floor from your oceanfront oasis.

Cape Split, Blomidon, and Delap’s Cove are popular hiking trails that reward you with stunning views.

Further south toward the mouth of the Bay of Fundy finds the least dramatic cliffs and more rock beaches and fishing communities. Lobsters and scallops are a big commodity along these shores, especially Digby and Digby Neck. Because of the rich sea life, a variety of whales can be seen in these waters especially if you book a trip on one of the popular tours.
