Reviews of Fisherman's Cove Heritage Centre (Fish Shop)

Nick P.

If you are looking for art, crafts and authentic locally made items this is is a massive do not miss. Been here twice and I'm always impressed by the kindness and service with reasonable pricing. Great water view, food, we spent too long here and messed up some plans for the day

GLM Clan

Awsome place filled with shops and little things like that and its super close to the beach

Robby Innes

Offer free Wi-Fi with a nice calm harbour view , priceless. Relaxing. Public parking. Over night wifi (cant get wifi just anywheres in the middle of the night)

María Margarita Aponte Medina

Beautiful place

Katie MacLean

Really nice place to bring a family. Cute shops filled with neat stuff and nice restaurants around. There's also a really nice board walk which is nice to walk on after supper as the sun is setting. Everyone there is really friendly (obviously because it's the maritimes) and I go there every year with my family. Definitely a good place to get some maritime-type gifts for family or friends.

Tony Van Pypen

Beautiful

Fisherman's Cove is a great place to visit for both tourists and locals! There's often live music on the boardwalk, lots of fun shops and the food is always great! The boardwalk around the beach is a personal favorite. The views are breathtaking at every step. A perfect city getaway. Just take a moment to breath in the refreshing sea breeze, and let Nova Scotia sink in.

Kathy MacPherson

This is a quaint piece of NS delightfulness. Met up with family who had run the Maritime weekend marathon. Music was playing as the runners arrived. Local business were bustling with local gifts, food and something for everyone.

Rachid Regagui

Interesting shops and restaurants. Nice boardwalk and it is accessible by public transit!

Ryan I

So many unique local shops attending to every fisherman, Halifax souvenirs, and obviously Lobster! You won't be disappointed with this cool experience!

This is an attraction for those that are interested in little shops. It makes for some nice photo ops because of the colorful shop buildings and fishing gear in the area.

Wilderness Wanderer

Nice place to walk!!!!

Kathy Fiander

Nice

Laura Bonner

Nice area, but not wheelchair accessible. The ramps have drop off that can send people out of there chairs or cause damage to a 4 thousand dollar chair. The stores even the staff in stores saw the chair and gave us a look don't come in here.

Theresa Smith

A have to spot to see,lots to see

Angela Rafuse

Love strolling around the shops(not opened now...covid) and walking the board walk....very relaxing.

Lise Danielle Theriault

Loved the quaint shops. My family's first visit and kids stayed in the car ????. Hubby and I tried a special Indonesian coffee and liked it. We will go back again.

Matthew Hunter

Lovely seaside boardwalk

Markus Mueller

Great location to walk

Vicki Seed

Beautiful, great food, interesting museum

Iryna Suprun

Disappointed. Just a bunch of gift stores and restaurants. Tourist trap

Martin Kidd

Nice place to visit in the summer to walk around and check out the stores etc. The ice cream stand usually has a great selection of flavours.

Hugues Mackay

Great tourist area with many shops and places to eat. The Boardwalk is nice on a sunny day, quick 10 minute walk with nice views of the passage. The Boardwalk is in need of upkeep, it is showing its age but is overall well kept and tidy. Boondocks is a great place to eat with seafood offerings and traditional pub fare as well.

Jen Corbin

Love this place! Took my kids down there fishing before, off the dock where the boats are! It's exciting for the kids to catch and release the fish! There are cute little shops lined up for you to visit and a lovely little restaurant! Taking a walk around the boardwalk is always nice, and just sitting on the sandy beach is relaxing! Kids go in and play in the water, and just enjoy being out by the water without being crowded! There's always people walking around with dogs, so if you're an animal lover there's usually a large selection of puppies to pet and hug! We've brought over a little charcoal BBQ before and had a picnic on the beach, that was fun! It's nice and relaxing there! It's busy but not too busy, which is surprising TBH! It's a gorgeous little spot and we absolutely love heading down there and just spending the day there! Have a visit! Can't go wrong visiting here!

Amber Pearle

Love this cove!! one reason why we moved to this area

Always a must stop when I visit my aunt and uncle. Love going there, a little shopping and a great lunch. The shops are unique and amazing finds. What makes me feel good is all of their goods are made locally, be by amazing young kids. Can't think of a better reason to shop there????

Michael Keefe

Beautiful location for a short stroll, a long walk (at the beach park), an all-day visit, shopping, getting a bite to eat, buying fresh seafood or just enjoying the beautiful view.

Fishing then grab a treat or two. Maybe hand pick a lobster and watch them cook it up for ya. Locals are awesome people to talk to if not from the area

Denysé Bridger

Fisherman's Cove is one of most popular places in the city, for good reason. Today was the official opening for the season and it was lovely. Perfect weather for walking the boardwalks and exploring the many new shops. It's easy to spend an entire afternoon here and still not see everything. The food available is excellent, as well.

Chelsey Hutson

Nice little local shops.

Raymond & Stephanie Brann

Good seafood

Tina Boutilier

Great place to walk ..lounge... enjoy a beautiful day. Shop..

Many unique shops and restaurants

A lovely spot to visit for the day. Lots of local shops, restaurants, ice cream shops. A beautiful boardwalk that wraps along the shoreline facing Lawlors Island and McNabs Island. From here, you can also catch the McNabs Island Ferry to McNabs for a day of exploring the island.

Patrick Flowers

A nice little spot on the water. I did the Maritime Race Weekend here and this area was the start finish line. Great experience over all.

Andrew Brandes

Good family times!

양기연

(Translated) If you are looking for a unique experience in Halifax, I would recommend this fishing village. You can enjoy the simple works of local artists and buy unique items. You can enjoy the harmonious scenery of the sea and the fishing village, and the beautiful sunsets of the sea. (Original) 할리팍스에서 이색적인 경험을 원한다면 이곳 어촌마을을 추천하고 싶다. 지역의 예술가들의 소박한 작품들도 감상할 수 있고 독특힐 아이템들도 구매할 수 있다. 바다와 어촌의 조화로운 풍경도, 그리고 노을진 아름다운 바다모습도 만끽할 수 있다

Chris Kingston

Great tourist spot, plan time for food and shop but a great mid day culturAl adventure

J Garnier

Seaside village with charming little shanty stores.

Marc Charbonneau

Fisherman’s Cove in Eastern Passage is a great hidden gem of a spot in Halifax. There are quite a few stores selling local art. Also several choices for eating. On a hot day like today, you can’t go wrong with an ice cream. If you are in the area mid-August, go down for the annual Tallahassee Days to celebrate being a pirate or mermaid princess.

Kathleen Osborne

This is such a wonderful place to visit. There are many small shops, some of which are closed in the winter, but there are two shops that stay open in the winter. One of them is a place called "Coffee Tea & Sea", of which I have a few pictures of, and the other is a gift shop. Wonderful and welcoming people is who you see there. I very highly recommend this area to everyone.

Rob Nurse

Great people.

Ken Parrett

Picturesque cove with shops, restaurants and a walking trail...well worth the visit!

Beautiful spot

Scott M

Great experience!

Claire Yu

Fun place to walk around and shop souvenirs

Chris Thain

Lots of craft shops and a few places for food and treats. Dockside Donuts is a highlight - head to the end of the craft area. First building you pass on the way in is a museum and worth seeing. *Note that the end of the docks is an active fishing area and not a tourist show. Stay out of the way if you see the lads working!

Jenna Mcneil

Fisherman's Cove is just a nice small quaint area for a lazy afternoon. Walk on the boardwalk. Check out the shops. Have some lunch. Great place to relax and take it all in.

Gena Dawe

When the tide is out the kids can run in the mud. Lots of quaint stores.

Richard “JayCee” Lord

Check out the Pirate days some time in August,good times for the kids and grown ups

Nathan Gildart

Small but well organized with Nova Scotia and Halifax guide maps. Has small displays. Staff were friendly. Nice little wharf with shops to walk along and the view of the water and Lawlor Island. Nice for a boardwalk stroll.

M P.

One of our favorite places to visit and take in the scenery!

Dawna McGladrie

Such a nice little place to visit. It has a variety of little shops including hand crafts, a candy shop with ice cream, a restuarant and an art gallery. There is a restaurant and a newly added fixed and floating dock so boaters can access the area for lunch or sight seeing. There is a very nice Memorial to local Fisherman's and it is right beside McCormack Beach.

Samantha Smith

So relaxing with great views!!

Mindalynn Frelick

Fabulous part of Dartmouth, sandy oasis full of nature. Boarded walks and picturesque walking paradise!

James Gauthier

Love this spot. Can go walking on the boardwalk no matter what the season is. Although this is a spot more for the summer as most of the business are closed expect for 2. Love just being able to get a drink and watch the water and relax.

Rose Zinck

Great scenic spot to walk, visit, have a meal. City meets old-timey fishing wharf!

Vincent Magnan

Great place for a little walk after a meal. Has a candy store open during the summer season and ice cream. Also decent restaurants walking distance.

Kevin Callaghan

Pretty place with lots of small shops selling mostly locally made artisanal items.

Arnel Ordonez

Just a small room of artifacts and historical data.

karen simms

What an amazing spot, had lunch at boondocks and it was amazing.

Pascal Osti

Great place to go on a sunny day. Nice short boardwalk. When going for sea food, I prefer the place at the tip of the loop that is sorta run down and hidden.

Brian Fitzpatrick

This is a great scenic area to spend an afternoon or morning exploring. Lots of unique little shops and places to eat, and a boardwalk near the water to take in the ocean scenery

Underwater Dreamer

Not too crowded. Public bathroom.

Amy McKee

Very picturesque. We got some small items in the gallery and enjoyed meeting one of the local artists.

akash patel

Pleasant place and nice people most recommended

BM Creative

Great View, the boondocks restaurant was fine, but their seafood linguine was delicious.

Steven Hebert

Nice little shops around and it's a great place to go for a walk

Michele S

Stunning

Chris Davison

Cute spot. A few art and craft shops. Good ice cream.

Anne Flemming

Great place to take a walk by the harbour and do a little tourist shopping with some local crafts available. You can also get a bite to eat, buy some fresh fish or just relax on a bench to enjoy the sunshine as you people watch. Friendly people everywhere you turn. Also washrooms available!!

Andrew Mcmanaman

Awesome place to take the family

By the sea... Local vendors and nearby beach.

lannie forgeron

Beautiful spot nice friendly people

Karan MacDonald

Gorgeous place. Was there for Maritime Race Weekend 2018.

Danielle “Lynn” Lane

Interesting place to visit. Good places for lunch and ice cream and lots of unique gift shops. A nice place to walk along the board walk and look at the different coloured buildings or fishing boats.

Sue Bee

The only drawback is that all stores are not open year round, but it makes sense, I'm sure, for those merchants who own them. Lovely shops, great country feel and an excellent coffee/tea house with deliciously wonderful, homemade meals. Entertainment in the Summer. A must see for any visitor.

Herman Pastor

Great shops and views

Michael Margulis

Beauty place to visit in summer day

Trevor O'Neil

Pretty good area, the boardwalk is nice but unsurprisingly most of the shops of fairly expensive but that's to be expected in a tourist area. Good to see if you're not a local.

Phil Laven

Lovely spot to visit with family. Lots of little shops, restaurants and places to explore. The boardwalk makes it easy to get around and connects to a nice walk around the salt marsh.

Guy Constantineau

(Translated) Fisherman's wharf We took a walk on the quay. we visited the shops, and ate in a small seafood restaurant, but we did not visit the museum. (Original) Quai de pêcheurs Nous avons pris une marche sur le quai. nous avons visité es boutiques, et mangé dans un petit restaurant de fruits de mer, mais nous n'avons pas visité le musé.

Vladimir Chvets

Nice place to visit with family or friends. There are big parking, good fish and chips, about 2 km to walk in ocean front, pirfect ice cream & tea.

Kristal Sampson

It is a lovely relaxed place with great little shops right on the ocean.

Robert DeKelver

Lovely.

Mama Panda

It was great. Enjoyed visiting the quaint shops and the weather that day was remarquable. Another beautiful corner of our great country.

Wang Teh

(Translated) It is in a fishing village, with a museum, several shops, cafeterias and restaurants nearby. Unfortunately on the day we went to visit, the 2 lobster shops were not open. But walking on the nearby beach, watching fishermen fishing, the trail on the deck is worth the ride! (Original) É numa vila de pescadores, com um museu, diversos lojas, lanchonetes e restaurantes próximos. Infelizmente no dia que fomos visitar, as 2 lojas de lagostas não estavam abertas. Mas andar na praia próxima, ver pescadores pescando, a trilha sobre o deck valem o passeio!

Jim S

I'm biased because I live in Eastern Passage, but I think it is one of the underrated gems of Nova Scotia. I would like to see better bathroom facilities and more businesses (why 4 and not 5 stars).. But the shops are nice and the people friendly.

Sharon Edwards

Great shops, food and walk...

KAR

Lovely little spot with shopping, food and the ocean.

Alex Le

Simply gorgeous

Kate Mckenzie

It was ok not a lot of shops

Jennifer Humphrey

It might have been because it was a cloudy day but there were not a lot of people around. I did try the food at a restaurant in the area and it was great!

Kelly Mercer

A board walk full of vendors and the smell of salt air greets tourists and locals alike during the summer season. People are friendly and ready to share good natured stories about the area.

Tyler Mattheis

Quaint, authentic, and close to the city.

Judy Hung

We enjoyed our souvenir shopping here! Bought our dogs collar with maritime patterns, a carved chainsaw puffin & handmade NS artisan soaps!

Robert Campbell

A good tourist stop

Wenche Overland

Just lovely

Absolutely breath taking....

Angela Riley

Its too bad it's closed in the winter but come spring it's a great little place to visit with the small shops with local gifts and good food. Take a stroll and walk the boardwalk and enjoy the shops and food

Brian Lager (Sandylns)

Great place to visit. Too bad the drivers can't read direction signs. Almost run over by cars trying to come in via the no entry sign.

Richard Dragaon

One of our favourite places to revisit, our dog loves it too!

Babak N

Not intresting for us from Toronto. We thought there is a good place to enjoy the old view of the boats and fishers but it was not. We even could not take a good photo. Maybe good for the local people. Not recommended to visit unless there is some improvement.

Rodrigo Januário da Silva

Beautiful place with good food.

Chrystal Skead

Cute spot but under utilized. There was less here than we expected, and then had trouble getting a taxi to pick us up to take us back to downtown Halifax. This is more a community park than a tourist attraction.

Puggy Melle

A lot of stores didnt open...came in the wrong time

Marjorie Murphy

Love to wander along the boardwalk. There are great places to dine and some fast foods. Gift shops, art gallery. Lots to see!

Jason Wareham

Small but sandy beach - it's a great spot to wade or take in the ocean. The area has a great boardwalk and is littered with small shops and places to eat. It feels far out of the city despite being able to get there relatively easily by bus.

Deirdre Cooper

Always love a visit here when I am home! Quaint little place to shop, walk, sit and enjoy a meal.

David McDougall

Great scenic place to visit. Lots of nice little shops to visit. Great family eating also. A nice little fishing wharf also. Nice little beech on the harbor next door which is very scenic and lovely to walk.

Kat McTaggart

Very unique little shops to buy handmade items (whale tail hooks, glass dream catchers, paintings, jewelry and more!) and it's not very expensive. Not always open yr round, so check before going.

Sepali Samanmali

Scenic place to enjoy your evening. Fairly good hiking trail.... Ocean water didn't look that clean...

MoH Compagnon

Always nice to watch the waves come onshore. Lots of little boutiques to check out, and great seafood.

Hector Loranca

A nice place to stop for souvenirs and ice cream by the sea.

Thomas Rogers

Beautiful area with beaches, ferries, rentals for activities and many shops and eateries. Definitely recommend visiting this area I'd you are in Halifax and want to slow things down and enjoy a more casual atmosphere. Area is well kept and clean and there is an information building with washrooms giving you everything you can find, or you can walk the area which is more friendly for pedestrians than cars. Parking at the beach is highly recommended.

Taida Marczak

Had amazing ice cream in little store at the end. Definitely would like to come back and explore more.

Evan Mac

Nice place for a visit

Chris Wies

Grandfather got grant to get this little fishing village and shacks all re done to turn it into what it is today. Beautiful.

De Mera

Such an easy drive from Halifax and what a fun place to visit! The shops are adorable, with so many unique items and the staff are so friendly! The board walk is great for all ages. The beach is near by for a stroll and for beach combing but not a great place to swim. We didn’t go to the restaurant but it was very busy when we were there in September. We will definitely be coming back to do some Christmas shopping.

Sharon Evenden

Good food. Interesting shops.

Louis Chow

Not that many people were there when we went couple of daya ago. This place has few seafood places to eat, as well as different shops.

Great local gift stores. Well worth the trip.

Debbie Morgan

Nice place but the boardwalk close to fisherman memorial is broken and Parks Nova Scotia still haven't repaired it since it was broken in February. Anyone using a wheelchair,walker or stroller will find it difficult to push through the crushed gravel. You would think they would have repaired it before tourist season.

Lynn Martin

Long drive for me but worth it in the long run.

Ashley Bell

Great place for a party :) Great staff, great view

john miles

Very nice here for walking or site seeing

David Spadafora

I feel that it is over rated. It's a small area with just shops and tourists. It stated that it is an old fishing village from the 1800s but I did not get that particular feel. It does not compare to Peggy's Cove or Lunnenburg. Prices are also high.

Linda

Beautiful shops, something for everyone. Delicious fresh seafood

Terrence Johnson

I had the opportunity to take Sherry Copeland and Mrs. Jones there some years ago and bought them both pewter keychains . At that time it was George Jones farewell tour .

Brian Arbuckle

Great place to shop / fish /walk

Debra Gaudet

Really underwhelming. Waste of time.

D Jay J

Quaint little shops with nifty handmade crafts.

Really a gem for those who want to get and get access to some of the best Halifax and Nova Scotia have to offer. We ate fish and chips, had a drink at the Boondocks patio, rented bikes and took a ferry to McNabs Island. Great experience and would do it again.

Vernon Boutilier

Beautiful spot to visit and have a walk and meet people and pets also lots of stores and places to have a coffee or a meal or ice cream oh yes I for got the lobster and the mussels

Nicholas Senechal

Great mix of restored village, speciality stores, restaurant and working fishing port with stunning views and ferries to McNabs and other islands as well as a nature walk. Small museum tells story of Eastern Passage community. Relaxed.

Jason Knowles

Nice little tourist spot outside downtown Halifax.

john hunt

Mike Kipper

We went to see the extent of the damage caused by the recent storm. It was amazing what the storm surge did to the boardwslk

Nathalie D'Auteuil

Adorable little fishing village along the Marine Drive scenic drive near Dartmouth. It's hard to remember you're near the city once you stop by for a visit. Quaint little locally-owned shops selling east coast wares and plenty of food options. Beautiful boardwalk nearby and excellent views of the ocean and the downtown core from this place.

Mrsfixit1954 Turner

Love this place especially Preserving Traditions..Boondocks and Joe's Candy Shoppe; but the management running this group of shops is biased, and is going to run this place into the ground. The best shops they have they are getting rid of in any manner they can. If they don't like you they will put you out!!

Heather Matthews

Lots of talented artists here.

darren Towns

Excellent meal great price only complaint a little warm inside

Jason Rutledge

What a good place to go in the summertime.

Brenda MacNeill

Courtney Jarus

Recently bought a house in Eastern Passage and we are in love with Fisherman's Cove! Friendly people, great selection of shops, and a beautiful boardwalk!

Joe Sullivan

AWESOME spot. You have to work a little bit to get there but the views are worth it. You'll be joined by very few people. Feel free to bring your camping equipment and have the best spot in Nova Scotia.

Cat Schnurr

We rented the Fisherman's Cove Museum for a birthday party. It was a perfect venue for a mid-afternoon get together.
