The Itinerary
The Eastern Shore, 1h from Halifax, hosts some of Canada's most hidden beaches: Lawrencetown (East Coast surf capital), Martinique (5 km of sand) and Taylor Head (wild peninsula with trails and beaches).
Lawrencetown is known for autumn waves (Atlantic systems building swell). Cole Harbour produces seafood. The Fisherman's Life Museum at Jeddore preserves a vanished way of life. End-of-the-world feeling just 1h from the provincial capital.
