Nova Scotia: A Family Vacation on the Edge of the Sea.
Discover breathtaking vistas, rocky mist-draped cliffs and desolate beaches as well as picturesque villages, statuesque lighthouses and friendly people. Acadian spirit, the inspiration for Longfellow’s Evangeline, provides a vibrant link with the past.

Experience a sense of place and taste. Lighthouses guard the shoreline and historic coastal towns like Peggy’s Cove, Ingonish, and Luneneburg provide the vital connection between past and present. Oatcakes and sturdy coffee bring morning pleasures. Cream-rich chowder, bluefin tuna, and lobster bakes delight all ages. Sample sweet Annapolis Valley apples, and succulent Oxford blueberries.
 
Go for the fun of it. From hiking and kayaking to bird watching, and whale spotting, the vacation possibilities are endless. Follow the dramatically beautiful Cabot Trail through the Cape Breton Highlands, around rocky cliffs and along the rugged coastline. Named for famous explorer John Cabot, the Cabot Trail is one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the world. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park lies along the Cabot Trail, providing world-class hiking, and scenic vistas. Bonus points: It’s the place to celebrate with more than 800 festivals a year – 737 are family friendly. Get the idea?

Living history to be shared. Sitting squarely on the “not-to-be-missed” is Fortress of Louisbourg, North America's largest historical reconstruction and a place where history come alive. On Toulouse and Rue Royal, as well as along the busy waterfront (quay) costumed interpreters recreate the summer of 1744. Time travel at its best, the living history cast provides stories, dances, music, and demonstrates daily tasks as if it was still the 18th century. For families Nova Scotia is refreshing.
