General presentation
Eastern Shore
Islets, beaches, lagoons and isolated villages along an unurbanized Atlantic coast.
The discovery of Eastern Shore is centred around Taylor Head Provincial Park, Lawrencetown Beach and Sherbrooke Village. The stay thus alternates between the coastline, island landscapes, wetlands and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Taylor Head Provincial Park
Taylor Head Provincial Park The walking loops alternate low forest, sheltered coves and exposed rocks, with a very changing light when the fog breaks over the water.
Nature and landscape
Lawrencetown Beach
Lawrencetown Beach is one of Nova Scotia's best known surf sites, with a long pebble and sand strike facing the Atlantic. Even without a board, the beach has a look: regular reels, strong wind, retreating marshes, and out-of-season walkers.
Place indismissible
Sherbrooke Village
Sherbrooke Village recomposes a 19th-century Nova Scotian village, with printing, blacksmith's workshop, wooden houses and interpreters-driven shops. The village is open to travellers who are curious about ancient gestures: typography, sewing, cooking with fire, agricultural tools and conversations that give flesh to daily life.
