Reviews of Lunenburg Waterfront (Tourist Attraction)

Janice W

Fabulous location with so much interesting history. Loads of restaurants facing the waterfront, horse carriage tours, boating (whale) expeditions and, of course, the Fisherman's Museum, restaurant and gift shop. (Hope you catch sight of Bluenose!)

Alan Levy

Visited the harbour by boat. Had an amazing time ashore. There are many fantastic restaurant's and lots of neat shops to visit. The fisheries museum is a place where you can spend an entire day. It is not possible to explore everything Lunenburg has to offer in one day...

Escobaria Gracilis

Very beautiful old historic town. Many historic houses and churches. Beautiful architecture and very good visitor center, Good views,

One of the prettiest spots on the planet...too late in the day to enjoy a restaurant, but I've heard excellent stuff about several of them.

K Berg

Beautiful historic waterfront, home to the Bluenose 2 (the ship on the dime) which was in port at our visit and we were able to go onto the deck for a tour. The waterfront is a great place to see various tall ships/sailboats. Lots of cute stores and friendly people. Tons of movies and tv shows are filmed in Lunenburg; Locke & Key was getting ready to film season 3 when we were there. There is also a large piece of the Berlin Wall at the legion. Well worth the visit.

Pete Pardoe

Beautiful old buildings in lots of different colors. The amazing Bluenose 2 was docked at the public wharf. Well worth the drive to visit.

???? lovely town. Nice waterfront area. Bathrooms in great condition. Disappointed that we couldn't get closer to the Bluenose II.

Robb Collins

Had a fantastic walk through the town and along the waterfront. There are tones of great seafood restaurants, cafes, bookstores and souvenir shops nearby. The maritime history museum on the waterfront is also a few hours well spent.

Christine Thibeault-McDonald

We love Lunenburg so much we moved here from London Ontario. This is a MUST see spot for any maritime trip for it's beauty, hospitality and history. Enjoy the Fisheries Museum and catch a lovely bite from a number of patios with a view. And be sure to check the touring schedule of the BluenoseII for a view you'll never forget.

Elissa Osachuk

Great place for a stroll and very well curated shops. There is literally one of everything here. Super cute!

Trinh Phan

Really wished we had more time to spend here. Lovely shops, quaint neighbourhood. Driving through Lunenburg is a bit tricky as roads are steep through the town and one-way but park somewhere and walk! Drive across to the golf course for a picturesque view of the Canadian heritage!

Maria M

Excellent place to visit. Booked a fishing excursion and was not disappointed!

Ariel Postma

Beautiful, colourful town. Lots of art galleries and nice shops. Lovely waterfront. An interesting visit ????

Matt Pepper

The Lunenburg water front doesn't disappoint. From the water the coastline looks like a post card of East Coast living. Home to the Blue Nose 2 make sure you plan your day as ship space fills up quickly. If you missed the Blue Nose do not worry as there are other sailing options leaving from the same pier. There are lots of restaurants with a variety of sea food options as well as a very good pizza place. Get there early as parking is limited being such a popular tourist destination. Enjoy the great food, views or tour the town in a horse drawn buggy. We had a wonderful time, the kids had a blast.

Chris Stone

A picturesque coastal community on Nova Scotia's South Shore, Lunenberg's waterfront offers spectacular views from a working wharf while keeping a sense of how this small fishing town has operated for the past 200 years. Fresh seafood abounds, as well as plenty to see and do!

George Wiebe

It's an old time romantic eastern maritime must see

James Drinkwater

Quiet little town to wander round. Lots to see and do.

Jessica Fleury

This is a beautiful small town along the waterfront. Lots to see, there's a dock with Muskoka chairs so you can sit a view the water and the bay. They have a fisherie museum and gift shop with a range of gifts that are cute and affordable, along with an ice cream shop next door It's a nice place to spend the afternoon

Neil MacKinnon

Even in this time of altered reality, we found Lunenburg to be pleasant and engaging with smiles you could see right through peoples masks. We spent money on closes, great food and ice cream and made a day off work feel like a vacation.

Gary Pearston

Quaint spot, very small town. If you can, book a cruise on the bluenose II....IF you can.

Vijay Raghavan

Pretty crowded when we visited (Canada Day) . Nice harbor front and lots of boating options.

Leonardo Sanchez

Just lovely!

Lionel Laurin

Absolutely, magical, true Canadian, excibition of true Canadiana, as is Quebec City, and other area's of Canadian history. The fog slowly incumpasting the land masses are the true and real visual awe. God Bless Canada the true and vibrant country of ours....

Cintya Hein

Is a beaultiful place! Colors houses, it's a cool!

Andrew Dawson

A pretty place, but I wouldn't say massively different from most of the coastline of the southern part of Nova Scotia.

Dimitris Protsios

Beautiful place to take a stroll, learn about the history of it and walk around the downtown area for nice shops and scenery. It might get crowded so plan accordingly. Even at this time of the year there were lots of visitors.

Steve Evans

Interesting place when things are open. I was too early.

Erin Sakalik

Beauty 360 We are from the states; we drove in from Halifax. Lunenburg did not disappoint. We enjoyed walking through the town and taking in the scenic waterfront.

Art Samuels

Great scenic location but needs more public restrooms that aren't located in pubs or restaurants

Colin Noden

A good family place. Interactive displays and ships to play on. Authentic artifacts for adults. A gift shop that has something for every age and interest. Maybe not fine dining, but that is available in the area. $6 flat rate for parking at the pier. N.B. make sure you have exact change in either quarters, loonies, or twoonies.

Terry Matthews

Almost everything was closed. A sign to identify the Bluenose II would be nice.

Hugh Huntley

Had a nice time easy parking got to walk around and see some of the sites went in a restaurant had a fine meal beautiful day

The most enchanting place! Artisans, great food, scenery are all amazing. Friendly shopkeepers and lots of tourists from around the globe.

Kobe Yeung

Must go in town Lunenburg. You can take a town walking tour or horse ride here.

Glen Jollimore

A beautiful part of Nova Scotia that adds to the picturesque landscape all around. The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site that remains true to it's intent. Fisheries Museum Of The Atlantic is a gem for anyone interested in the history and lore of the Atlantic fisherman, and the beloved Bluenose. Wonderful people in a charming town.

Mr.Stromeh

bAnice place to spend the evening to watch the sunset and have some local seafood

Great place to visit. Loved the small town.

Mandy S

A great place to take some amazing pictures and spend the day. Make sure to visit the cute little shops around the harbor.

Yasemin Hamurcu

Kindra Nappo

Nice area but tough parking.

Ralph Basile

Beautiful spot. The bay sail tour was worth it!

Pascal W. Couillard

Less to see than anticipated, still a great area to visit.

Kerri Miller

Ironworks Distillery and a walk around the town was wonderful

Victor K

Beautiful, but it feels like you and every other tourist in the province is there at the same time. Check out the fisheries museum!

Gabe SD

Lunenburg is a friendly community with a working fisherman vibe, but welcomes tourists of all stripes. The restaurants are great and the vista is typical mid-century Nova Scotia.

Adam Toth

A beautiful place to walk and enjoy the sights and the sounds of Lunenburg. It is one of the main tourism spots in Nova Scotia for a very good reason. Plenty of great restaurants and shops to choose from with a lively nightlife that people of all ages can enjoy. Do yourself a favor and spend at least one weekend during the summer exploring Lunenburg.

Thomas Mlodzinski

Birth place of Bluenose and Bluenose 2.

David-Joyce Baxter

Just an outstanding, beautiful place. Everything about this spot is great!

Geoff Fleet

Adam Myhill

Such a beautiful, historical place.

Ankit Patel

I love the boat ride.

Marieke de Roos

A great place to bring kids all year round.

Andy Novikov

From the Atlantic Ocean, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, looks like a postcard, colorful hillside houses and leafy trees are arranged in a row. Tourists flock to this pretty town, drawn by the famous tall ship Bluenose. Lunenburg is chock full of interesting architecture and beautiful historic homes. You should walk around the harbor. If you look closely, there is a revealing clue to this town’s connection with its maritime past. Many of those houses have a top-floor “widow’s walk,” a glass-lined perch where families anxiously awaited their loved ones’ return from sea. Many homes and buildings have historic plaques. It is not a very large town, so you will be able to cover it in a car in a short amount of time too. Part of the town overlooks the harbor with wonderful views of the water. There are lots of shops, restaurants and waterfront to enjoy. Do not forget to take your camera!

Valeria Gonzalez

Awesome place ! Great restaurants !

Mark Hewitt

Such a remarkable history and beautiful waterfront

azza salim

❤ Beautiful place.. you must visit @shop on the corner try the wild blueberry tea ????

Jazz S

Worth stopping by when you’re in nova scotia! A pretty neat town with beautiful old houses in a different colour. Lots of tourist so parking is a lil hard but glad we found a spot right by the ocean front. There’s a pay parking lot ($6-only accept change/coins) just outside of the museum, restaurants and the pier where you see the beautiful famous bluenose!! :)

Brad Rippberger

Bluenose wasn’t there or else 5 stars. Very tourist friendly, loved it.

Stephan Deguise

Gary Mattie

Lot of fun in winter.

Huberto Garza

Colorful backgrounds and pristine facades. Make sure you take a short walk to the Berlin wall segment

General Dexter

COVID closed many long time historical neighborhood shops and restaurants. The few that were open were nice.

J M

Lunenburg is an excellent stop and you can see many historical buildings. There is a lot of history here and witnessing the architecture is really exciting for someone who does not get to see old buildings very often. I highly recommend it at any time of year. There are many shops and restaurants that are open, even in the winter.

Jason Charles

Over the top amazing...beautiful...I was looking at real estate Great retirement idea

D Morrison

Great town and water front amenities. Parking availability needs some work.

Marc & Natalie

Bluenose tours, waterfront warf, restaurants and lovely shops for all family members no matter the age.

It was quite even for a warm summer evening. Nice place to visit. Most museums closed by 5pm so didn't get to explore them but was lovely to walk around Harbourfront

Nishanth C

For the UNESCO Heritage site, I don't see anything wow. It is like any other city. Nice water front. Crowded restaurants.

Sebastian Kluth

Lunenburg Waterfront is a great place to walk around, sit down and enjoy the gorgeous landscapes as well as the beautiful ships passing by.

Katie Enman

Cute little spot for a walk and a fun playground for the kids a bit further up!

L Silver

A beautiful picturesque spot that is still a working wharf. Very few tourist spots can host a rich history, a thriving present, and an enduring future like the Lunenburg waterfront. Be sure to stroll the full length and visit the Marine salvage store and the Dory shop.

Annie-Kim Bermudez

Went in April so not much attraction. The bluenose.was cover and museums closed. It's a must during summer time I bet.

Jennifer Humphrey

It was a great experience. Go early to catch the boats that take you whale watching and you can also see a better view of the waterfront. I got the there too late. Lastly there is a segment of the Berlin wall near by.

Joby Sebastian

This is one of the most popular destination in Nova Scotia

Jason Janes

The waterfront in Lunenburg Nova Scotia is one of the most beautiful waterfronts in all of Canada from its fishing boats to being the home of the Bluenose this place is a must see!!

Lisa A. Butler

Great restaurants. Wonderful horse and buggy ride with historical tour guide. Beautiful habour front.

Terry P. G.

Enjoyed walking thru the waterfront in Lunenburg. Quaint fishing village has some remarkable viewpoints for picture taking.

Jeffery Bushnik

I'm from Sydney, in Cape Breton, and have been a local historical tour guide, but it blew my mind to see an older town than ours that still managed to have so much of its original core intact.

Kevin Bewcyk

Great place to walk and explore.

T

Great place. Beautiful town.

Kirk Greek

Nice scenery, lots of great places to eat, lots of shops to check out

Sukriti Goyal

It is very picturesque and the Town in itself is quite charming. We went in off season so it was not at all crowded and we couldn't really the boat tour. Loved the colourful houses and the pretty country style waterfront.

Karen B

Luxemburg waterfront was just beatiful to walk around. Nice resteraunts in the surrounding area

gurbani khalsa

Wonderful experience

Alice Weston

Everyone who travels to Nova Scotia should visit Lunenburg if they get a chance. A charming town which is home to the Bluenose schooner. (On the Canadian dime) There are a variety of resturants and gift shops which you can explore. It is a treat to have an ice cream and wander along the waterfront.

First For Love

Be sure to do sail boat tour. 2 hours of serenity!

Gayle Wilson

Definitely recommend this stunning, historic town. It is a UNESCO site. Highly recommend the horsedrawn tour if you get the opportunity.

Phillip Pelly

Breakfast was splendid and view completed the experience.

Valerie

The Lunenburg waterfront is one of my favourite places on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. It is a small waterfront, and it doesn't take long to see it all, but the history of an early fishing town, and birthplace of the Bluenose make it a worthwhile stop. The waterfront is part of Old Town Lunenburg which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for being a best surviving example of the base of an offshore Atlantic fishery and has a preserved town layout and appearance from the 18th century.

Horizon Eye Photography

Beautiful place to visit

Tim The Tool Guy Rhyno

Beautiful area and lots to eat. But the smell of poo is usually over whelming in spots

Robert Forsey

A great place for a walk and a very clean town!!

Anthony Choucrallah

James Kramer

Stunning seaport, great food and shopping, really nice locals. Must see if in Nova Scotia.

Don Kane

Walking the waterfront in Lunenburg just puts joy in your heart. People talking to each other about all the sights! Smells of sea air. Great restaurants, book stores, crafts, and just plain old normal needed shops! Museum on waterfront. Horse carriages! Art galleries! NS history in live living existence. As you wander around - you realize - I want to live here!

Michael Grover

Fantastic old fishing Village on the Atlantic in Nova Scotia. The view of the water in the view of the Town they're both spectacular. The museum is worth the trip too.

Matthew Carleton

Beautiful!

Villagemayor

One of the main attractions of Lunenburg is the waterfront. Although I visited off season, it was still a nice stroll without the crowds. Architecture and colourful buildings are a draw, as well as the boats.

Mike Kinsella

Such a nice place to visit. Lots of heritage and art.

Erich Weingartner

Totally understand why this town is designated as a UNESCO Heritage Site. Incredible architecture throughout town.

Jodie-Lynn McMullen

It is like seeing in colour for the first time.

shehzada kassamali

Fantastic.....it's a must a visit place ... British colonial times , European style build historic town

Norbert Aschenbrenner

Wonderful small town. The view from the waterfront is gorgeous.

Bridget F

Pretty boardwalk & buildings. Very busy spot with shops & food businesses. Horse & buggy tour available. There's an awkward time before 5pm where some places are closed for food and creates a bit of an issue getting in somewhere to eat lunch/late lunch. Hard to find parking if it's really busy.*

Jerry Rush

Don't miss visiting here. You can see it, smell it, taste it and overall feel it. This is the soul of scotia, Nova Scotia.

Jagdish Bodani

Nice all community

Jonathan H

Lunnenburg is a great place to wander around on a sunny day. Lots of colour and history. Who let CIBC build their offices on the High Street which are just so out of character with the rest of the town?

Nicole Soltys

A beautiful place to visit. We came late in the day so not much was open but the views were worth it. Definitely take a moment to explore.

Dmytro MG

Looks good. Blue nose rocks. However in off season no public washrooms available. That's not good

Ashkan Sadri

Nice little town to spend the day in! Amazing buildings and vibe walking around the streets. Pay attention to the plaques on some of the buildings that show who the original buildings were built for (E. G. City sheriff, doctor, etc).

Gordon Ng

Beautiful place to walk around and soak in the Maritimes.

Vic Singh

Nice world heritage site.

Talita Talanski

Damaris Kazor

Such a well maintained, historic town, gotta love it! The Bluenose had just shipped in as well, so our visit was complete!????

Bonnie Zeller

The Lunenburg Waterfront in Nova Scotia is a pristine bevy of water craft, wharf walkways, bistros/eateries, local businesses and gift shops. Various tours are available from horse drawn carriages, walk abouts or on the sea. Of course one of the main attractions of the waterfront is the Bluenose II. The original schooner built on March 26, 1921, had no equal. However, after decades of racing, she was sold to a trading company and in January of 1946, the vessel struck a reef off of Haitti and was lost. In July of 1963, Bluenose II was launched and began her career as Nova Scota's sailing ambassador. When docked, visitors are welcomed aboard the top deck, admission free. The crew are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. One can only feel total admiration for such a vessel and the beautiful waterfront of Lunenburg NS.

Marlon Klasson

Such a beautiful place. Friendly people. Good food. What's not to love? I highly recommend the Fish Shack. The lobster roll was delicious, as was the fish. Lightly battered and very crisp. Not greasy at all.

Ronel Buzer

Very cool place for a walk

Great place. Lots to do.

Andrew Veinotte

Beautiful view

Rodney Wiebe

This is one AWESOME town. It may be a little pricey, but you gotta take the guided buggy ride through this historic town!!!!

Craig Savoury

This part of Nova Scotia is beautiful to behold anytime of the year. There is so much to see and do, whether you have a limited budget or pockets as deep as King Midas. But the crown Jewel of things to do is to just walk around the old part near the Academy and Church as the day turns to night - so incredibly peaceful and relaxing.

Eric Pillman

Beautiful Place to visit.

Wade Boutilier

Great place to visit, a must see when visiting Nova Scotia.

JASON OIKLE

adi star

Very beautiful historic place to visit..????

C.J Finnie

Beautiful but sadly it was raining. Didn't spoil our time there C&D

Olga Baez

Peaceful full of happy moments and great food!

Syed Shoeb Hyder

A small town with beautiful scenic views and nice souvenir shops.

Dimpearl Ghelani-Chhotai

Instagramers’ Paradise. Every home is colourful. Summers are just more decorative due to lovely flower baskets in varendahs and streets. Streets look colourful and rustic.

Kira W

So pretty and colourful! Lots to see.

Jeanne McDonald

Favourite place in Nova Scotia. Love to sit on the pier and watch life go by

How beautiful is it in Lunenburg. Enjoy the stores restaurants and the harbor.

John Fisher

We did not go into this place. Butt we had fun looking at the outdoor stuff.

Jamie Bain

If you make it to Nova Scotia you have to see the Blue Nose II. Lunenburg is beautiful.

Christina Vandervlist

Fun and funky, colourful shops line several streets with artisan crafts, locally made treats and even a distillery. The Fisheries Museum is worth some time as is simply strolling about town. If you like fibres don't miss The Mariner's Daughter!

Martin Ois

Surberb place to visit. Much to see. Very picturesque town. Take a tour it's worth it.

MJ Seager

Beautiful town with a lot of history. Lots to see and do down at the waterfront.

Jim Jim

Nice village for a half-day exploration, beautiful for the eyes, but a bit over-hyped in my opinion, don't expect to meet a lot of locals, as the main streets close to the waterfront seem to be mostly aimed at and populated by tourists. The little cemetery with its old gravestones and the distillery with its free (and delicious) tastings are nice slightly offbeat attractions. ????

Kelly Bartel

Funky, interesting waterfront, with working port.

Gord Robertson

I always enjoy being here. One of the friendliest places on the east coast. Great restaurants and awesome citizens.

Stephen Baker

Good place to relax have a meal and see culture.

Monika Kröger

Mit really one of my favorite spots in Nova Scotia....too much addicted to tourism. There are other similiar towns with much more flair

Gordon Pattison

Extremely picturesque site with interesting architecture and shopping. It's a UNESCO world Heritage site. Not much going on in the winter so visiting in the summer is better due to the weather. There are a number of cafes and pubs. Plan to spend several hours if not staying overnight. You can get there from Halifax on a day trip.

Cris Best

Nice place for a walk. Wish more stores stayed open later. Free WIFI, clean, family friendly.

Tom Saxon

Nice place to visit for a few hours to shop and eat. If you can use the local tour guide she was very good and the tour was no longer than an hour.

Ralph Malpage

Was a beautiful day for a walk about...

Cynthia Lachance

This harbor on the south side of the Atlantic Ocean offers many opportunities for deepwater fishing and boat tours from several operators. The Atlantic Museum, situated right on the harbor displays many artifacts from Maritime life of old! …

Dennis McKelvie

If you go to Nova Scotia you must visit this town. Eat drink and be merry.

Ryan and Sarah P

Definitely a great afternoon of shopping and dining.

The food at the restaurant was Great , if I didn't drive almost 2 hours to get there I would have turned around and went back home . Parking is terrible , we were 1 hour and 10 minutes and it was $10.00 for parking , if you wanted to go on the boats to look at them , you were told to pay at the museum first , another $13.00 per adult . This place is a Tourist TRAP ( a money grab ) . I live in Nova Scotia and will NEVER tell anybody to go there ,But Only To Clear Of There.

Beautiful and interesting town. Lovely shops and harbour. Fishing museum, bookshops and coffee shops(No 9) all good

Charlie Gervais

Come see all the local attractions and eat sea food :) Lots of neat things to look at including the tall ships being moored. Many cool shops and restaurants. When i was there visiting the replica of The Bluenose I was moored. What a sight to see in real life. You could also board a tall ship. I think it was a museum.

David De Battista

Very pretty a must visit

Jefferey Bryan

Nice place to walk around with good restaurants and shops nearby.

It's beautiful and definitely worth the trip but the tour buses full of seniors was irritating.

Michael Kowalson

Quaint coastal town in Nova Scotia that is the home of the Bluenose II when it isn't docked in Halifax

Elaine

This is a beautiful stop. On a lucky day, you'll find the Bluenose11 in port, possibly open for tours or we even doing sailing tours. The whole town is historic and ready for tourists. To here is a museum too.

Was the for the xmas lighting of the lobster trap tree. The kids got to ride on a train. It was magical

Lara Chemali

Great city with a cute harbor and friendly people

Peggy J

There was only a few restaurants opened and line ups to get in during the week. So we left.

Matt Stojak

Washrooms are kind of out of the way could be closer but it's okay very beautiful

Robert Walsh

A beautiful town and waterfront.

Reid Palmer

I come to Lunenburg often to paint or just for a day trip away from Halifax. It's a beautiful town full of history and local flavour. During the summer it's bustling of tourists and locals looking to take in atmosphere, history or just good food and drink.

Terina Pickering

Fabulous place to visit with the best restaurants!!

Derek Marriott

Nice and clean, surprisingly active at this time of year. Plenty of restaurants close by, and no sign of Tim's or McDonald's!

Howard Westmoreland

Obviously end of season - things closed and what is open was not very welcoming.

Olga Schulenburg

Beautiful setting especially when the Bluenose is home.

Kenny Danberg

Cool buildings, great places to eat, great views of the sea.

Candy Walsh

So full of history and beautiful sites

Jeffery Tong

Great picturesque view can be seen from the dock or from one of the ship tours.

Amanda Lloyd

It was a nice place to visit with my Halifax friends on Oct 31st, 2018. We took a scenic drive all the way there from Halifax via Peggy's Cove & some small villages. Unfortunately it was dusk when we arrived so didn't get to see as much as we wanted & the Bluenose was not there. But it was still nice to walk around & see the multicoloured houses & shops. We went for dinner at the Salt Shaket Deli, then an evening stroll through town despite it being Halloween. We didn't feel unsafe in any way.

B Boulanger

Fish shack, fish and chips are excellent

Chris Lever

This is a beautiful town and picturesque waterfront. The only downfall is that it is an obvious tourist trap. Theres many an art gallery, and at least one place to eat on every block. Theres a maritime museum, horse carriage rides, and a distillery. Many many things to look at but not much to do. Thats not to say it's not worth the visit. It moat certainly is. I would go again in a heartbeat. Dont expect excitement and thrills. Its just not that kind of place.

Bryan Blacksher

Pretty waterfront but not a lot going on here.

Jeremy Cooper

This place is so beautiful and picturesque. I want to come back and stay here for a few days.

Dean Zwicker

Great boat parade with fantastic fireworks for the Annual Seafest.

Wanda Bryks

Just beautiful. Did the carriage tour. Our guide was very informative. You get the history sites in detail plus the plans of the town to keep it looking as the past and keeping the historical setting alive. The museum is great and for young tourist they have interactive areas. Would come again

Patty Huffstetler

A must see when in Nova Scotia, the carriage ride is well worth the cost, which a picturesque place.

Burt Hatt

I love the beautiful old houses and shops in the town site. Bring your camera. Very scenic spot.

Jess Sheldon

A historic community that possesses the feel of a storybook. Parking on the water front for $4 hourly, or side street parking with meters. It is a quaint little town with its colorful buildings, a great spot to spend a sunny day walking through the town and learning about the area's history!

Matt Cross

Most beautiful plàce on east coast. Excellent food, accommodations and waterfront. Horse carriage rides, whaĺe watching, ghost tours and home of the blue nose tall ship. Something for everyone.

If you love folk art pictures of scenes this is the place to see. The views are idyllic and quaint. Many artisan shops too. Lots of history. I visit it every time I visit the Maritimes!

Frank Wu

It is beautiful, with the colorful buildings, but it is small with a limited cluster of buildings. You can get some good sea food (even Subway there has a lobster sandwich), but a little over-hyped by people.

Carol

Loved this town take time to walk around great shops and beautiful old buildings.

Owen Dominix

Great place to spend the day or week!!!

Steven Bruin

The waterfront is a beautiful place. It is well worth a visit, we walked up and down the promenade and side streets. The restaurants were good, had several portions of battered fish. Some places are better than others, but the fish was all fresh and tasty. The beer, on a deck and in the sun was very enjoyable. We went on one of the fishing trips, and I caught a massive cod. All in all a great trip.

Canadian

This a must visit place if you are near Halifax. Very nice town. Do not miss the view of the water front across the bay.
