Journey along the coast that is often forgot about when people think of Halifax, Nova Scotia - the stunning Eastern Shore!

Just north and east from downtown along the Atlantic coast is the historic Eastern Shore with mesmerizing coastal landscapes, historic Acadian villages, fisherman at work throughout the morning, and cold weathered surfers dancing on waves all along the coast.

We will have this area all to yourselves with your local photographer pointing out the best spots for taking pictures and helping you make the most of your camera or device. We will also showcase some of the area's rich history of the through archival images, maps, movies and photographs courtesy of the NS Archives.

A few of the spots we may visit include, but not limited to, are: the Acadian village of Grand Desert, the working fishing village Fisherman's Reserve, Lawrencetown Provincial Park, the beautiful surf spot at Flag Pond, the colourful tourist spot of Fisherman's Cove and a few other hidden gems in between. We travel the same distance as we would to Peggy's Cove, but by going in the opposite direction we're rewarded a wide array of visual delights - but without the crowds!
