Nova Scotia Travel Guide

Cape Sable Island. I great place to spend a day and explore the seaside. If your traveling through Nova Scotia and you are thinking of doing the drive from the Annapolis Valley through to Yarmouth and then to Shelburne and Liverpool, or vice versa, you should think about stopping by Cape Sable Island. This is a cute little fishing village where the people will invite you into their homes and ask you to stay for supper.
Cape Sable Island is just that, an island connected to the mainland by a causeway. It takes only a short time to drive the entire island so you have ample opportunity to get out and take photos or explore. Your going to be surrounded by short stumpy coniferous trees and salt sea air. The landscape is unique and always holds your attention.
If you want to meet some of the locals there are various little shops and stalls around where you can pick up folk art or native crafts. You may want to find someone you can understand and hold onto them for a translator as you drive further into the heart of town :) You might notice that the local English Accent is a little tricky to catch at first but in no time you'll notice yourself talk just like dem :)

Are you traveling on a tight budget? Do you want to use every hard-earned nickel for sites, museums, activities, and other?  Do you only need a bed and a shower?  If so, consider staying at a college or university.  Many institutions in Halifax offer dorm rooms or apartments to travelers for a modest fee.  This is true in other areas arount the world as well.  These institutions are often in great locations or at the very least well cnnected to The time of year may play a factor in room availability, but it is worth the effort to check no matter what the season.  In all my stays, I have had a clean room, climate-controlled, and enjoyable experience.

 

Good journeys!
