Incredible local food in an upscale diner setting. If you're in a rush grab amazing sandwiches and takeout from 'Little C' next door.

This place is awesome... right on the rail trail (you could always cycle here from the house too! There are a few companies around that rent bikes, I believe) Great sandwiches, soups, coffees, baked goods, samosas, licensed... I always stop here for a treat on my way by! Great for a takeout picnic lunch too :)

Vegan. Done right! Really great foods and a takeout fridge. Their peanut butter cups are to die for and the lentil patties too. Right next door is RIO, a fabulous small yoga/pilates/dance studio.

Great food, and within walking distance from the house. Go and have a few glasses of wine with dinner, and enjoy the gorgeous walk back! Nice deck overlooking Hubbards Cove.

Really great food, reasonable prices. Local and a small craft brewery attached. Stunning views of the Bay of Fundy, this place is literally right in the middle of it, with a huge outdoor deck as well. Super romantic spot.. and also great for families. Near the town of Wolfville, a sweet place to walk around, and close to the Cape Split Hike (to nourish you after you finish!)

The best and biggest local farmers market. Norberts inside, has incredible breakfast every day, a little pricey but soooooo good, and all with ingredients from their farm. Sit down available. The most vendors are there on the weekends, especially on Saturdays.. through the week it can be pretty quiet.

If you don't mind spending too much for products and carefully checking the expiration dates before buying... the closest grocery store (5 minutes driving) is great for a quick grocery fix. For better quality & selection I recommend the Sobeys Extra in Tantallon (15 minutes driving).

Parks & Nature

A great hike (the beginning is the hardest part - push through!) for any age.. takes about 3 hours from start to finish.. though add an hour or so for a picnic at the amazing trail head.. right in the middle of the Bay of Fundy (the word's highest and fastest tides). The sign at the entrance says 4 -5 hours, but I've done it many times with several different people, and it's always only 3. Do yourself a favor and DON'T google it... just enjoy the views when you get there! It's a beautiful drive about an hour and a half from the house. Well worth it, make a day trip! Go to the Port Pub after for dinner and spectacular Bay of Fundy Views. **Be careful and don't go near the edge, it can be quite dangerous. The trail is clearly marked and easy to stay on**

A beautiful park in the city, where people walk their dogs, and have picnics. Lots of trails and hidden spots with old overgrown military outposts.. neat place to explore and enjoy sunny days. It opens up right onto the water, for amazing views! I highly recommend a leisurely stroll down Young Avenue after, to enjoy the beautiful big homes.

My favourite beach! Washrooms, change rooms, and lifeguards.. Pack a lunch though. The water here is warmer than any other beaches around. When the tide is high there is not much beach, but as it lowers it becomes huge, and is packed in the summer! Great spot. Free parking, park anywhere except for fire zones... they don't actually ticket in the no parking spots!

Sightseeing

You cannot come to Nova Scotia and not visit Peggy's Cove. This iconic lighthouse with rocky landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also enjoy looking straight out into the open Atlantic. Please abide by the signs and don't step on darker rocks... every year tourists get swept out to sea from getting too close to the waves.

An old fort right in the middle of downtown Halifax, explore the tunnels and prison cells, watch the elaborately dressed officers doing drill trials, and enjoy the views of the whole Halifax Harbour.

Shopping

When you arrive in Mahone Bay, park along the water on your left to enjoy free visitor parking.. then walk around town. It's very small, and a nice walk. Most everything is a left at the fork in the road. You'll find fabulous boutiques here with everything from beautiful yarns, home decor, foods & baked goods, local arts & crafts.. each place has very unique items. You could always enjoy a meal while in town as well, there are a lot of great options.
