| Travel Guide for Nova Scotia Surrounded by three major bodies of water, the Atlantic Ocean to its south and east, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to its north, and the Bay of Fundy to the west, Nova Scotia's waterfront location speaks of seacoast scenery and maritime diversions par excellence. The melodramatic magnificence of spectacular ocean vistas, sandy beaches, battering waves, and rocky shores come at their most dramatic in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, separated from the mainland Nova Scotia by the narrow Canso Strait on the Cape Breton Island to the north, along with the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historical Site, the resort town of Baddeck, where you'll find the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, the coal-mining and steel-making city of Sydney, home of the Centre 200 multi-purpose convention and entertainment arena and a Casino Nova Scotia. Add the exquisite landscape variations of cultivated farmland along the sunny Annapolis Valley, the gently rolling hills along the Northumberland Strait, the blustery boggy uplands along the Bay of Fundy, and the emerald dense forests and shimmering lakes and rivers of the Tobeatic Wilderness Area and the Kejimikujik National Park, Nova Scotia's extravaganza of landscapes resists any general personifications at every turn. There is a recreation wonderland awaiting your enjoyment of nature, among which the myriad of watersports are understandably essential. You can choose among the fantastic dolphin and whale-watching cruises, deep-sea fishing charters, and ocean kayaking, canoeing, sailing, swimming tours as well, dolphin and whale watching cruises departing from Digby Neck and Westport, swimming and deep-sea fishing on Melmerby Beach in the Northumberland Strait, which features the warmest waters north of the Carolinas, inland sailing on the Bras d'Or lakes, tidal bore rafting on the Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy, which boasts some of the greatest tidal falls in the world, are among the best options. The most populous and prosperous of all Maritime Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia's proud Latin name, which translates into New Scotland, reveals the intrinsic ties of its history and cultural with Scottish roots and Gaelic traditions. Idiosyncratic cultural markers like kilts, bagpipes, highland games, music and dance festivals and a remarkably strong Scottish accent, are particularly true to its names. Other distinct immigrant influences live on well today, most notably the Arcadian enclaves along the Annapolis Valley, like cities of Annapolis Royal, renowned for the Fort Anne National Historic Site, Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens and rows of Victorian mansions, and Wolfville, home of the Acadia University, and the German settlement of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for the wealth of colonial architecture, German culture and the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. The remarkable scenic beauty and the vibrant multicultural nuances have shaped an ocean playground like no other, making nonsense of getting the full sense of Nova Scotia within a simply vacation. Bearing in mind that great things come in small packages, Nova Scotia is best navigated along several outstanding scenic drives, such as the Cabot Trail, Lighthouse Route, Evangeline Trail, Sunrise Trail and so on. And Halifax is, in most cases and with good reasons, aimed for as an obvious home base for most of the visitors on the road. The largest city in Canada's Atlantic Provinces, and a major transportation hub in the Maritimes offering a superb natural port, an international airport, and comprehensive passenger transport services to Yarmouth, the southern tip of the province, Truro, a workaday town and major crossroads on TCH 104 in Central Nova Scotia, major towns on the Cape Breton Island and villages along the Annapolis Valley, Halifax is the natural port of entry for your journey into Nova Scotia. A tourist destination in its own right, Halifax offers several wonderful tourist attractions, the most impressive of which being the historical significance of the Citadel National Historical Site and the Pier 21, ocean views and hiking trails of the Point Pleasant Park, eminent and edifying collections put on display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and Museum of Natural History, architectural delights of the Halifax Public Gardens, and the Province House, exhilarating nightlife along the Lower Deck, and he exceptional dinging facilities in the Brewery Market. With the addition of some of the most comprehensive Nova Scotia hotels throughout the region, including the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront, one of the most resplendent casino hotels in Nova Scotia, several full-service downtown Halifax Nova Scotia hotels with high-quality conference facilities such as the Courtyard Halifax Downtown and the Residence Inn Halifax Downtown, a fair assortment of Nova Scotia bed and breakfasts in residential areas, including the Pepperberry Bed and Breakfast and the Waverley Inn a limited number of Nova Scotia accommodations options in the town of Enfield, site of The Halifax International Airport, you're bound to have a lasting memory of a great Nova Scotia vacation. Dubbed one of North America's most spectacular dives, the Cabot Trail reveals some of East Canada's most stunning scenery around the Cape Breton Highland National Park and other beguiling sights around the northern promontory of the island. The Lighthouse Route, traveling the shoreline of Southwest Nova Scotia from Halifax to Yarmouth, covers almost everything of any possible interest, not the least of which is Peggy's Cove's Lighthouse. You can make a shore cut at the town of Liverpool for The Evangeline Trail, which runs from Yarmouth northeast to Annapolis Royal, via Hwy 8, for the sake of more timesaving and magnificent wilderness splendor of the Kejimkujik National Park. Looking for hotels in Nova Scotia with contemporary flair other than Halifax Nova Scotia hotels, try Dartmouth, the twin city of Halifax just across the harbour, and Sydney and Baddeck on Cape Breton Island. For the finest Nova Scotia bed and breakfasts, check out establishments outside of Peggy's Cove on Highway 333, like the Tea & Treasures Suite and the Joanne's Bed & Breakfast, in the quaint delightful Annapolis Royal, highlights of which include the Hillsdale House Inn and the Queen Anne Inn, in the historic and atmospheric Lunenburg, where you can opt for the Ashlea House or the Addington Arms Bed and Breakfast, or in fishermen's and ferry terminal (to Bar Harbor, Maine) town of Yarmouth, whose Guest-Lovitt House Bed & Breakfast and the Harbour's Edge Bed & Breakfast are real hospitality treats for guests.
