Reviews of Halifax Waterfront (Museum)

Heather Newell

Great place to go for a stroll and people watch. Great little stores, restaurants, and bars. Activities for the kids and lots of places to sit and relax.

Linda Feringa

Beautiful way to spend a day. Breathing in salt air. Great shops, fantastic food.

Harjot singh

Great place to visit

Thomas Saulnier

Lots to see along the waterfront and lots of public seating so you can relax and watch the people or the harbor. Many food options as well albeit a bit expensive.

María Margarita Aponte Medina

Amazing place to do something different in the afternoon, or evening... Enjoy a meal or just relax on a hammock...

Mario (Ranjit)

Always something good happening here, and good food and drink always available.

Bubby Adams

Nice walk, and cute stores, don't climb on the wave, seen the sign after the fact (sorry)

Siddharth Anikar

Beautiful place for weekend chill. You can take a ferry to Dartmouth and enjoy the beautiful ferry park. Also you can have the amazing view of Halifax from the other side of the waterfront. There are lots of cafe bar & restaurants available on the front. Cow's Icecream here is the famous in town.

Brandon Blades

Beautiful Saturday spent on the waterfront

L K

A nice place to hang out for a few hours and check out the waterfront, eat at the kiosks or relax at the many restaurants in the proximity. You will see boats of many sizes cruising past you while you stroll. There were many displays set up for Halloween on our walk today around the boardwalk. I couldn't resist taking a snap shot of Jasper in front of one of the fall displays and posting it! You will find many comfy chairs, hammocks and seating along the boardwalk. The waterfront is a must to visit if you come to Halifax....oh and I just about forget to mention the music...buskers are a regular site around the grounds!

SORTEGA

Matthew Hendershott

A lovely place to spend some time. No shortage of food or drink, and some great harbour views. Great destination for some indulgent treats on a nice day.

A

This is a great place for a stroll or bite to eat. Really there is something for everyone. Nice views, some top notch restaurants even some play stations for kids.

Ryan Milone

A very touristy place (during the summer at least), but cool to see the harbour and ships for a half an hour. Lots of food around as well.

Benjamin Grim

Great place to enjoy a long stroll. Museums, coffee shops restaurants, markets... Walk for hours! Cool job!

Eric Bear

3k long boardwalk has something for everyone. From donuts and dinner, to sailing and jewelry, one is bound to find something interesting to see.

Neil Fernandes

The Halifax waterfront seems to have it all. A nice long and busy boardwalk past interesting arts & crafts, public art installations, food outlets & restaurants, harbour tours, bike rentals and museums at either ends of the boardwalk. Pier 21 is at one end and the maritime museum at the other. We had great weather when we visited on a cruise ship and you can tell from the pictures, it was a clear summer day. There are public washrooms and paid parking available along the waterfront. With a few condos sprouting up close to the waterfront, you can be sure this is one place that is guaranteed to attract a lot of crowd. The harbour hopper uses one of the parking lots adjacent to the Murphy's restaurant. Murphys seems to have the monopoly of the waterfront tourist attractions. A great place to spend a lazy afternoon.

Artem Glue

Good places to eat, nice view, and really enjoyed taking one of the rental electric scooters on a ride.

Shelley Keating

There is no shortage of beauty here, nor of things to do and see.

Christopher Walsh

An amazing view. So peaceful. Worth the visit

Christine Sheaves

Beautiful spot. Very clean. Music, lots of sitting areas.

Edwin Holmes

A clean relaxing place to walk and enjoy the harbor.

Aart Olij

Nice boardwalk. City planners thought of giving access to the people. Keep the condos and developers away from ruining this.

Rajesh Sahadeo

Lovely city... Great ocean front views, nice people very tourist oriented...

Cintya Hein

Amazing! Beautiful place! Halifax is very nice city ❤

Joy Fajardo

Super love this place. Nice walk that is pet friendly. Got a number of restaurants with patio. Enjoyed the summer weather outdoors.

Leonard Brown

Beautiful. Peaceful and relaxing. Stopped and had a couple of drinks. A bit pricy but that was to be expected in a tourist spot

Kyle “902Lancer” Fenner

definitely a beautiful place to spend a sunny day, lots of culture. Food, music entertainment, all in one nice long walking path and a short distance to many more cultural and historical landmarks. a must see for any visitor.

Peter Mavreas

You need to visit Halifax, words cant explain how awesome this place is

Gregory Finney

No trip to Halifornia is complete without a visit here. Hit Stubborn Goat beer Garden or Salt House Social. The seafood tower and Oysters at Waterfront Warehouse Brunch at Black Spoon was divine. Bicycle Thief for a fancy dinner! Lower Deck for a nightcap

Techno Guppy (Technoguppy)

5 stars for the picturesque views and the energy of the waterfront. 1 star for the poor service, high prices, low quality restaurants that are scattered about. They are there to get you in, feed you some "authentic food" (some is good, some is not so good), and get you out. They know that you are not coming back so decent service by predominantly university students is often found elsewhere. Try any of the other restaurants a couple of streets away from the waterfront. Visit, enjoy, just don't eat at the waterfront.

Darlene Chisholm

Was a nice day on the waterfront but because it is off-season most of the outdoor shops are closed.

Jennifer Saundercook

Beautiful place to walk and dine. Popular summer destination!

Tonia Hartnett

Parking is awful, but still beautiful

Milap Bhanderi

I would say it is one of the very coolest place to explore in halifax and to spend your evening by waterside. 3-4 place you should visit are: The Ferry terminal, The Wave, waterfront swings, curvy street lights..!

Robert Connell

Walk along the boardwalk next to the ocean.

Raida Yessin

Very nice Ocean front place for a walk and something to eat with many touristic boutiques for souvenirs

Daniel Darroch-Potter

Was here with my husband for an appointment.He was going to be two hours so I walked the waterfront. So many changes since I've been here last including a huge building lol

Spiffy Banana

Its a super nice place to relax. Take a load off and relax right on the sea. Lots of marine activity to watch and some rentals available. Food stalls, some games and activities a Great pub and parking all available. If anything if they added some more adirondack chairs along the piers and a few more hammocks as seating can be hard to find. If your a hockey fan only a short walk to the Scotiabank arena to watch the Halifax mooseheads in action on game night.

Todd Maye

Excellent!! Kudos to Halifax for an awesome job preserving the waterfront for the people vs developers. Tons of history, pictures, restaurants and shops. You can stroll back and forth between the cruise ship terminal and McDonald bridge. If you get tired of this, downtown is also a great place to walk around and shop or grab a beverage at a cafe or pub. Be sure to check out the citadel at the top of the hill. Great city

Arran Thorpe

The Halifax waterfront is a happening spot with lots to see and do. You can walk a far distance all along on a boardwalk that has a variety of vendors. You have to visit the Halifax waterfront when visiting.

Claire Lam

Clean, pedestrian friendly, with great food stalls and a wonderful environment.

Kyle Gray

The development along the waterfront keeps progressing and the outcome is great. Lots do see, eat, drink and enjoy.

David Baker

A wonderful place for a walk. Unfortunately, too many of the shops and stands were closed for Holiday Monday.

_ Z _

As a local now i go down there quite often to enjoy the scenery

Sue Richard

I love my city, but parking is tricky. Paid parking lots down on the board walk or parking garages are ok, reasonable I guess. The board walk is clean and all kinds of little shops along the way. It's a great walk from Pier 21 all the way to the casino!

shelley sparks

The water front soo beauitful now great place to go for a walk .

Just In You Tube

My first time in Halifax. Such a beautiful city. I took my sweet time taking in all the amazing views here. The boat race,historical statues,structure art and awesome street performance's. Along the way you will have lots of different delicious food to choose from. You want to shop that is covered as well pick up a souvenir as you will have plenty of shops along the way to visit. Got the kids there is a cool playground with a tidal wave they can burn off some energy well you do a pit stop to recharge. You won't regret the visit here.

Mark Hubley (Farmer000000)

Best place of Halifax with a very good restaurants patio. Government really investing money to develop better.

Sukarnos YYZ

Beautiful boardwalk, busier during late evenings, has good amount of restaurants to munch on, not so big of a boardwalk(less than 2 km) I had probably mis read it as worlds longest downtown boardwalk(4km+)

Terry Fitzgerald

Excellent place to pass all day

Jeff Meaney

Great place to visit, just take a walk, see downtown attractions, and grab a bite!

Tina Cassibo

Great place to walk and relax by the water, lots of great places to eat and shop.

Carole G. Anderson

The best place to see the harbor, take some pictures of the city and enjoy food.

Terry Bigelow

Linda Rankin

Another reason why I am a proud Nova Scotian. Visited from Cape Breton and enjoyed every moment! Great job by the City of Halifax. Lots of history and so clean!!

Dan Cassidy

We have had a great 3 nights in Halifax. Great music, plenty of places to eat and parking on the pier. The Henry House Pub has a great patio.

Todd Smeed

The Halifax waterfront is a great way to spend the day exploring everything it has to offer. We recommend the Farmers Market and Alexander Keith's brewery.

Mel Park

It is such an beautiful place to be. Just keep it in mind that they can be really crowded in weekends. Hope you would get the chance to make best memories with your loved ones here.

Bradley Pool

Great ambience and shopping experience ????

Li Merrick

Would give 5 stars if a good portion of the main walk wast blocked off. It has been for a long time and I don't see it reopening anytime soon. Building "luxury apartments" right on the board walk was not a smart idea.

Ivan Tran

Great walk and harbourfront! Lots of food options and accessory stands and very lively environment.

Danaysia Ash

I love the Halifax Harbour front! There is so much to buy, eat and explore!!! It’s definitely a touristy area so it’s always going to be crowded but you can always find spaces to relax or restaurants to enjoy a meal with family or friends! Make sure to wear comfortable footwear because due to the lack of parking spaces you may be doing lots of walking!

Joy Rose

It was a beautiful day and so much to see!!

Sandy T

Amazing...full of shops, restaurants, just an amazing walk from beginning to end.

Jennifer Lewis

Beautiful waterfront, lots of restaurants and patios and outdoor seating for families (whether in a restaurant or not) fun vibe and lots to see and do.

Always a great place to spend an afternoon, lots of food options and vendors; my son loves the harbour-themed playground.

ryan j warner

very kind people & clean environment. recommend any fish & chips at the waterfront: freshest tasting fish I’ve ever had. the melting streetlights are a must-see!

Letitia C

Gorgeous spot to wander and see. Visited in early August. Lots of food options and places to sit and relax while watching the ships. Shops to pop into offering a wide array of clothing and gifts. Pictures are all from same day. Cloudy, cool and overcast in the morning and bright and sunny afternoon. I understand that changeable weather is very typical in Halifax.

Ravindra Kempaiah

Visiting the Halifax waterfront on a summer evening is just wonderful. You have this wooden broadwalk spanning over a kilometer and the views are marvelous. I saw a group of people swing dancing, sailors, people just enjoying the walk. It was great. There are quite a few restaurants nearby that offer outdoor seating. There are tours one could take to see and understand the history of this place in an organized way.

Diana Moore

We walked this everyday, its full of restaurants, bars, and people. I loved it If you get a chance take the ferry across to Dartmouth, its $ 5.00 round trip for 2 people and it takes 10 minutes.

Dimitris Protsios

It's under renovation according to signs at various spots and that is a great thing as it is a nice place to walk around, relax, entertain and do more. It will definitely look better as it is a bit worn down at some spots. Nice assortment of dining places with a variety of prices. Lots of free seating to enjoy the day on the pier or elsewhere.

Sherry Ottery

Beautiful relaxing harbor and waterfront. I love being near or on the water. So much to do there as well. Several excellent restaurants to choose from too!

Ice White

It's the most beautiful place, especially during Summer. Even in Winter it's still a good place to walk around.

Kyra O'Brien

Lots of events and development, always plants and bouquet like displays, and they're always adding something new so it's always an exciting visit

Terry Sloane

Busy without being crowded. Lots to see and do, great food choices.

KD M

Beautiful and happening place. Lot of affordable eateries and restaurants nearby. Nothing for the vegetarian though except French fries. Harbor hopper is a good experience for the water tour. Land tour of boring except for not too high a aerial view of the city in and around waterfront. Good time pass place for summer for those who don't want to drive beyond Halifax.

Jeremy Kurtin

Nice walk along the water front.

Alejandro

Amazing place to see. Lots of activities. Great for kids. Many food options. I can't wait to go back

So great to see that as the city grows the waterfront continues to be the focal point offering many great views and adventure for all.

Andy Novikov

It was a beautiful walk along the boardwalk. Lots of waterfront places to eat or get a cold beer, to visit little shops and farmers market. This is a great spot for taking many photos too. Wonderful way to spend a sunny day!

Amit Gandhi (The Monk)

Exquisite tranquility at water front. One of the best place to roam around in downtown. It almost take half a day to explore the beauy and get cool breeze.- fresh and airy.

Kevin Nguyen

This is THE place to be in Halifax. Awesome and fun atmosphere with lots to do: eating, shopping, relaxing, exploring, sightseeing, etc. One of my favourite parts was the hammock area. What a great idea! I wish they had these in Toronto. There’s also complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the boardwalk.

John Plante

Lots of things to do. Check out Pier 21 and the North Atlantic Maritimes Museum. There are a lot of little gift shops, food vendors and restaurants. It’s a nice walk!

Kathy Mireault

Simply Beautiful ????. Great little gift shops and restaurants and Sea Good places. Loved seeing the big container ???? Ships come in ????

Leah R.

Beautiful shops and lovely scenery to look at while you walk the boardwalk or relax in the public hammocks with an ice cream cone from Sugah!

Beautiful place, nice to have the ferry nearby to avoid parking issues.

Rodrigo Nerys

Very place, good for walk, talk, seat with friends, taking pictures. There a lot of restaurants options.

Christina Vandette

Beautiful spot to spend the day walking and shopping and eating.

Great place for the whole family. There are chairs and hammocks to enjoy watching the boats and the water. Lots of interesting birds to watch and there are often people fishing from the wharf. Several interesting playgrounds for kids to enjoy.

Sanje Ab

Amazing view, world longest hourbour front boardwalk. Lots of places to eat. If you are visiting the city dont miss this area.

Kirk Hickling

This summer the whole of Halifax was under construction making it hard to get around or park. Waterfront tourist area smaller than expected with less to do, thus mildly disappointed. A few nice restaurants and small shops.

Robert Mcdougall

Best place to meet beautiful women.782-641-0324rob

Amanda Perry

What are great tradition to start. The evergreen festival downtown was so magical.

Gabriel Murphy (Gabe)

This place bussin bussin, lots to do and see. Stopped on the hammocks to relax after a day DT, lots of restaurants and stuff to do. Make sure to stop at Davy Jones locker for a custom maritime T shirt he's got Halifax wind jammers to Beep

thomas owens

Beautiful place to visit. Lots of choices for local cuisine! Something to do for the whole family. Busy night life.

Ned Connor

We have not visited the Halifax Waterfront for several years. We found it vastly improved in size and scope. There is more to see do, and more places to stop and enjoy Nova Scotia hospitality. There is a museum, harbour tours, shops, bicycles ans seats to relax and people watch. It was a great day.

Whiskeyjack Explorations

By far the best place to hang out in Halifax! I’m currently camping in the Halifax area. I spent all day yesterday just hanging around the waterfront. Lots of places to visit. When your tired, even has spots to lay down in a hammock. Today, I will be back to watch some more shipping container ships come in. Very lively place. Only issue, it’s not located in Wildcats Country. Go Cats Go!

J Beechu

Best walk in Halifax, even though it’s typically touristy it’s fun with Lots if yummy restaurants and cafes and amazing views of the harbour. When we were there there was a buskers festival on( it was huge and people came from other parts of the world) and that was wonderful! Not this year due to Covid 19 but I’m sure it’ll be back next summer. So much history in this Harbour!

Terri Travels

Construction is crazy at this time....fkoating boardwalk replacement is cool though

James W Davidson

Nice to stroll around on. Very clean and well taken care of. Wish we had this setup here in SJ

Colin Heighton

One of the places I would consider a must see. The city has put so much into this area to make it as tourist friendly as possible. Activities, festivals and beautiful views, coupled with great resturants and pubs. There are also activities for children, educational material and some wonderful hammocks on the boardwalk to have a nap or read a book by the water.

Luke

Had lots of fun there lots of things to do.

Tiziana Francesca

It is really a wonderful waterfront !

Dumantha Jayasuriya

Great place in downtown Halifax. Day or night you can always go amd chill

Tim Zugger

Us and the kids had a great time walking around enjoying all the things to do. Cool little shops and things to eat. The wave was probably the most fun.

morin pandya

Nice and quite place.

Kim Parker

Lovely boardwalk. Amazing restaurant choices. Great vibe!

iamdan.online

I came during COVID and on a day with cloudy skies. So it was the worst case scenario... Bring snacks, and you'll be fine. It's nice to get close to the ocean and see the views. Very pretty. Would 100% recommend to come during days where things would actually be open.

Jon' Fulljames

A wonderfully historic area of this famous city, with lots to see. The maritime museum was especially interesting given the history of the 1917 explosion and the RMS Titanic memerobilia.

Georges Nakhle

Feel you want to have a walk by the ocean with the kids and family, it's the right place. A large choice for things to eat, activities for the youngsters and a nice relaxing view

Radman

Great place, friendly attentive servers and very good food. This place belongs to Gahan group and I can only recommend it. Great variety of beers too.

Art Hill

I have cruised on many ships and visited many ports of call, and Halifax is one of the best. When you meet people on cruise ships who discover you are from Halifax many comment about how much they enjoyed the Halifax waterfront. You can get off the ship and just walk to most attractions in the city. There are lots of restaurants and shops to explore, and the Museum adds to the possibilities of things to do.

Brent B

Such a cool place to check out ! A must if your in the big city

nilisnothing

One star less for not having enough parking spaces and washrooms. Otherwise very nice place to spend the entire day and night.

Karen Coleman

Beautiful new boardwalk extention. Lots of Adirondack chairs and bistro sets. Always a happy place to stroll, enjoy the sights and shop.

Terence Hale

Great place to visit and enjoy a walk, some food, and shopping.

Kelly Mercer

In the summer there is always lots to see and do on the Halifax Waterfront. My family and I explored the tall ships last summer. Lots of local talent and buskers to keep you entertained.

Andrew Clarke

So much activity on the waterfront. Great to see people out enjoying the music and food and local shops.

Jason Noonan

If you in Halifax than you must venture down to the Board walk. Lots to different shops to look through and restaurants to eat at! Definitely worth it!

Naveen Rafa

Loved it. It was foggy and it only added to the mystical setting. I had one of the best evenings of my life here

K Wade

Halifax has a great Wharf Walkway with even vegan cafes, hammocks, children's play areas, great places to sit or eat outside. The further you walk the more cool spots emerge. The hammocks were so popular, we had to wait a bit to quickly catch one. What a great way to relax on the waterfront.

Gulfam Haqnawaz

One of my favorite places in Halifax. Always great to visit. Something is happening around the year there. variety of food options, farmer market, museum of immigration etc. Refreshing to walk on wooden trail.

Plants vs zombies the show by korbizz

Just beautiful here

Saurabh Mehta

Great place with great crowd

Robert Chisholm

Great place to visit. Great restaurants shops and just sit back and enjoy the sights ...

gurbani khalsa

Good experience. Went on the ferry ride, felt awesome. Charges are the same as bus.

Elaf Abu nabout

It is verey. Nice????

Chelsea MacIntosh

The improvements to the waterfront have made for an even more enjoyable experience. Plenty of vendors, live music and even more spots for snacking!

Anthony Swim

Was very good tonight on July 31st for this long weekend

A L

Visited halifax first time. Stopped by the waterfront in a weekday afternoon with high expectation. It was beautiful, but not impressed!

Wendy Stebbing

The city has made the waterfront area a vibrant, welcoming place to be. We were here on a lovely August night and there were lots of people wandering around, live music playing, ample seating to watch the acticitynon the water or the people. It also felt completely safe. I would love to try some of the food places along here. There is a section that has a number of shipping containers that have been repurposed as retail locations.

J. Ross Mayhew

One of the most people-friendly waterfront places i've ever seen!! A series of cute little parks for both children and adults alike, all connected by a broad, very well maintained boardwalk stretching from the shops near the Ferry Terminal, all the way to the Pier 21 complex of Farmer's Markets and other interesting places. WONDERFUL views of the harbour, McNab's and George's Islands, the MacDonald Bridge, Dartmouth/Eastern Passage shorelines, etc. Plenty of places to sit down and enjoy the day. Splendid place to watch the sunrise from, or just to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life for a while. Recommended for ALL ages.

JohnandLis Humphreys

Gorgeous day on the Halifax boardwalk. No crowds for July!! Great place to visit for fully vaccinated folks!!

Darlene Lewis

Love the Halifax Waterfront. There's lots to see, lots of different stores. We had a fun time and stopped to have a beavertail. They were delicious.

Don Kane

Halifax waterfront is in the middle of being reconstructed. Old building fronts are being kept. New highrise buildings are developing. The new waterfront still has a 2 to 3 year finishing plan. The new Tourism look includes a new AGNS, Tourism centers, tourist attractions and a great walking waterway for a frontend veiw of the Halifax Harbour.

Katherine Taylor

Beautiful stop to have a seat and look out at the water

Villagemayor

One of the must visits in Halifax. The boardwalk is relaxing and a quick way to cross downtown without cars. Lots of statues, landmarks, and chairs to admire the harbour. A must visit for any tourist!

Monali Trivedi

Beautiful!.!

jalisa wohlgemuth

???? this place is truly the best

Anne-Marie Byzuk

The view is spectacular aswell as there are many different things to see on the waterfront alone. You could spend all day here!

Mark Taylor

There's a very specific reason for this one star review. I'd like to see the waterfront allow alcohol to wall with!!! All of Quebec and many other Canadian cities have adapted with COVID to allow people to have more freedom and responsibility with alcohol in public. ITS ABOUT TIME HALIFAX COMES INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. plus every european city does things like this. There is NO reason we can't do that too. I have submitted formal letters to the waterfront, city councilors and the Nova Scotia liquor board and no one is taking action on this. Let's hope this review gets it happening!!

Amber Dawkins

The boardwalk is so beautiful. We lucked out with the weather being sunny and relatively warm most days, for late October we felt very fortunate. Some of the restaurants are definitely overpriced and underwhelming but that's to be expected.

Manna Ghose

Loved thevibe of the harbour. Very fun and a great place to relax.

Kevin Pessoa

A FANTABULOUS place for the entire family. Clean, there are rides, yummy ???? ice cream.

Mihemed Mislim

Very beautiful view

Nicole Macdonald

Lovely views

Christopher Muro

Really nice walk along the water with plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from.

Robert docta

Was my first time there and I loved it. Don't have any pictures but u have to try it. Went for skidoo. Make sure to reserve your spot on their website before

Justin Colson

Nothing better than relaxing ocean side. Lots of spots to choose from for food.

Nabeel Nasir (ilmaddict)

Beautiful, scenic area along the harbour front. Very nice to stroll in the summer. On Canada Day, they have plenty of festivities and music, including activities for the kids.

Manan Chokshi

Well, i went in night time and it was good and specially that yellow chair on deck was the best thing!

Calgary Explorer

Some construction when you get off Halifax side of the ferry. Great new spot down along the board walk past the Maritime museum of the Atlantic. Good vendors. Prices good. Lots of places to sit and eat. Great views from the wharf area.

cassie frazer

So beautiful on the waterfront. Social salsa dancing going on as a "free" Wednesday night activity; plus sax player, beautiful boats, fun people, beer garden and beavertails. What's not to love?

Kimmer Nice! Prezio

So love it beautiful! Walking enjoy the water the ocean and in some places great musi! thank you Halifax NS!

Donella Held

Easily walkable from our cruise ship with plenty of options for food and drink. There's a lovely submarine playground for kids. We took a hopper bus tour from around there and saw a small train tour option as well.

Tabitha Little

Always a beautiful place to go when you're in Halifax, the boardwalk is always nice at night. I would recommend atleast once in your life you gotta walk the waterfront boardwalk, and you gotta walk the pedway!

Kathy Poncelet

What a gorgeous, clean Boardwalk Waterfront! There were airondec chairs, benches, hammocks and even leash attachments for the pups! Water bowls serve our everywhere, friendly people & a huge assortment of tasty places to eat. We spend alot of time here because of how beautiful it was...will definitely be back!!!

Canadian Travel Review

Being near the water is of course pleasant. It is nice to walk along the boardwalk. However, if you’re looking for an uninterrupted step back in time you’ll be disappointed. While there are some old buildings, or old looking buildings, there are mostly newer buildings, some of which were clearly not designed to maintain the historic character of the area. The view across the Harbour is of many industrial areas. Restaurants are generally over priced, expensive and/or of questionable quality. I did find some of the food stalls to be surprisingly good. Had some fish n chips at the seafood stall - Katch - which was unexpectedly fresh and tasty.

D Somerville

So nice to wander by the waterfront. There is construction there now, but we still completely enjoyed ourselves. There is still plenty of open spaces to enjoy the views and the sea air.

Kevin Konkle

A clean and safe spot to enjoy the day. Loved all the food choices along the way.

Justin Rogers

It's a very busy spot. If you're needing a bathroom break along the way, stop in at the ferry terminal. There's public restrooms available there. You're welcome! The boardwalk is a great spot for a stroll.

Dina Simmons

If you are on a cruise ships, the Halifax Boardwalk is extremely doable. On a nice day, it is a walker’s dream. Usually the temperatures are cool to cold; so, dress appropriately. There are a number of shops, pavilions restaurants and new residences were being built when we visited.

Richard Reid

The Best place on the East coast. i would spend my days roaming the waterfront whenever im in town. peaceful. yet active always something going on amazing place to relax. try out the hammocks. relax and wait for one of the many musicians to start playing. weekends there usual a band or 2 in the summer. always a mecca for downtown. beaver tails and ice cream. fish and chips so many food options to make your head spin from simple to elegant. sit outside with a blanket on in the fall at a few of the downtown places. its magical!

Chandu Bompalli

Historic and had long boardwalk at waterfront in mother nature.... Lively atmosphere.....

Mike Corrigan

Mili Kubátová

Donna Brown

Beautiful spot... tons of food places and the boardwalk view is incredible

Michael Chung

It’s a great place to chill out, taking in the sights. You can access to its long, beautiful boardwalk from ample parking spots nearby. There are many benches to stop, appreciating the Dartmouth skyline with some boats sailing. I, …

Great spot with great food. Check out the hammocks!

Jesse Truen

Danced with the gf in the pouring rain into the middle of a outside eating area that was playing music

Tina Yuen

A small ferries wheel was installed near the car park and it is free for the public. It is definitely a spot light of Christmas decoration there. We visited there on Saturday night but had just queued for about 10 minutes. We had so much fun on the wheel.

Ashton Jones

Very clean and calm

Frank Horton

Very nice boardwalk. Beautiful sites. Good restaurants, brewerys.

Brenda Hetherington

Great people watching spot. So much to do and see. A few more public washrooms would be nice, but wonderful spot.

Kim Schutt

Loved it! Visited the museum, harbour buggy and strolled. Came back it was so much fun. Beautiful art, chairs to sit and enjoy. The Corvette was a highlight.

BohoBabe

Expansion of the existing boardwalks are underway. More room to sit and enjoy a beverage and something yummy from many of the delicious kiosks.

Jen Schwartz

We were on the waterfront for Pokemon Go Fest. It was pretty crowded but not too bad considering COVID. I would give the boardwalk area a 9 out of 10 for wheelchair accessibility. It's pretty easy to navigate independently around there in a chair, just not as easy to locate a wheelchair friendly washroom, I'd say. Not 100% sure if that's because of COVID, or in general, but it is worth noting.

Ben Wervers

Great place To stroll and check out shops. Tons of things to go and explore. Rentals, tours shops etc.

Miss Sunshine

Always enjoy some time on the hfx waterfront. Love taking the Nikon for some great shots and always something to do for people of all ages.

A really enjoyable walk along the harbour. Plenty of places to sit and take in the scenery. Not overly commercial, a few shops selling 'local' souvenirs and plenty of bar/restaurants specialising in fish.

ST T.

Quite a number of restaurants and food stalls along the harbour walk. Good place take a stroll, running exercise or even sitting to enjoy the scenic view.

Austin Campbell

The Halifax Waterfront is the paragon of HRM and a perfect representation of our culture and values! If you're coming in from a cruise ship, or if it's your first time DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE! Go listen to the buskers, experience the bursting energy, and spend some time at all the little shops and kiosks; you won't regret making time for this.

Shan Sayed

Halifax Harbor was a great place for visiting.... very lively bustling harbor. Many entertainment spots and restaurants and snack areas. beach volleyball , ice-cream, hopscotch, playground.

David Talbot

Lots to do, plenty of food choices and tiny shops to keep us occupied.

Josh Fee

Waterfront is so wet!!! What's with all this water?? Wish someone had warned me there'd be this much water. I can't even swim. So dangerous. Zero stars.

Doug

We could spend all day here. Lots of places to eat, patios to sit and have a drink. There are lots of shops and there are bistro sets and Muskoka chairs everywhere. You can take a ferry to or from Dartmouth. Update September 2021: It's still a great place to visit. They are putting up condos along the boardwalk which could take away from the ambiance and it is becoming very commercialized.

Aisling Owton

Ample walking space and seating. Lots of vendors selling local delicacies. Highly recommend a visit if you are visiting Halifax.

Justin Stiksma

Lots of things to see. My kids loved the playground and talking to the people fishing. We wished that there were shops open in the market.

Carly Cotarelo

Start at the Farmers market. Fantastic boardwalk, so much to see and explore

Cris B

Lots of restaurants to choose from here. Great vibe near the water including music. Good length boardwalk. Buskers and street performers. Dog friendly walk with picnic tables to sit and have a snack. Great options of dine in restaurants or takeout food stalls.

Tammy-Jo Mortensen

Love to walk along the waterfront. Always stop at Amos Pewter.

Sheena Tynski

Halifax Waterfront on an early Sunday morning - what a treat. Not much open. Just a few people relaxing in the bright morning sun, getting exercise, enjoying the possibilities of the day...

Bill Ahearn

Always a delightful way to spend a few hours. The boardwalk runs for more than a mile and has lots of history. The White Star Line was once on the eastern end and now is anchored by a market and cruise ship port. Summer brings amazing yachts from all over the world. You can take a ferry across the harbor to Dartmouth for a view of the city. It's also fun to just find a place to sit and watch the world go by on and off the water.

M Racette

The waterfront is really well preserved, the feelling of old town is really nice to take a walk.

ultraviolet light

The place is clean, the shops are cute, and they have plenty of photo sites!

Patricia Henderson

Most of the great things about the Harbour are shutdown. I used to enjoy walking down there and buying trinkets and a meal, I won't bother next visit

Rejean Martel Cooper

Love this place always have always will. Love the "wave" especially how there is a sign that says to stay off it but every kid has to go on it, including myself. Love the cool breezes and sunny days. Missing the good ole days when the busker festival would be there when I as younger.

Isaac wideman

Great for walking up and down when you need to have a think. Or just people watch.

Mitchell Coolen

Lots of great things to do and places to eat, all around great vibe around the waterfront!

Great source of entertainment for everyone! Buskers 2019 has been an amazing event this far!

Real Auger

The waterfront is a great place to visit in downtown Halifax. There is ample parking close to boardwalk. Even on a very busy day it's possible to stop at the many benches and relax and take in the sights; boats sailing, the Dartmouth skyline, the cruise ships. Many vendors are present along the water front; Cows ice cream is a must stop, grab some chocolate from Peace by Chocolate, fish and chips at Murphy on the lake.

Joe Tavares

It was great being out with people after all that we went through

Lina Lee

Walked along the waterfront. Many things to watch and to do.

Emina Sabanovic

Great solo, family or romantic adventure. Shops, restaurants, beer gardens, food trucks and many attractions along the way. Bike rentals at iheartbikes Segway rentals Boat tours on the tall ship Silva Harbour hoppers for all inclusive Halifax tour Keith's brewery for historic attraction Largest farmers market in North America near pier 21 Try Atlantic lobster and fish and chips Lovely old ships new yachts and visiting cruise ships to see Take the ferry (Halifax public transport 12 mins each way 2.75$ I believe) to Dartmouth for an epic view of Halifax Bring a sweater, can be breezy when the coastal wind comes. A lovely experience for all. Enjoy!

Shinto Antony

Night walk is the best

May Zhagro

Best place to go for a walk or to people watch during the spring-fall. Very pedestrian friendly and lots of seating available during the summer. Lots of seasonable businesses are on the waterfront ranging from food and drinks, to glass, to bike rentals, to performance areas. The whole waterfront goes from the farmer’s market to the casino. There’s also a few boats/sails/cargo ships around and sometimes there are really fancy million dollar yachts to look at. You can see Dartmouth across the water and George’s Island as well. Definitely a fun place to go if you’re visiting Halifax.

Santos Ramos

Very nice and clean water front. Halifax you should be proud of the beautiful shops and places to eat.

David Perez

Great family place to spend the day.

Jamie

It has been at least 10 years since I was here last and I was very impressed with the development. Lots of shops and seating if you want to enjoy the view

Christine Glogowski

Halifax waterfront is an amazing place. It was unfortunate that the little shops close down for winter so early in the year. Should stay open until at least end of October.

yan hao

Beautiful place for walk. Place for kids to play as well.

Graham Baker

Busy with tourists and a vibrant night life. Plenty of food and live music in the bars. Harbour tours were good and guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A very welcoming and friendly destination.

Don't get to halifax often but my son loved the park!
