The Itinerary
The Northumberland Strait holds the warmest waters north of Florida (22 °C in August). Red sandy beaches, Scottish villages and brewery-restaurants pace the coast.
Tatamagouche hosts the Tatamagouche Brewing (kombucha and beers), the Train Station Inn (rooms in restored railcars) and Blue Sea Beach. Pugwash, founded by Scottish immigrants, is known for the Pugwash Conferences (world peace, 1995 Nobel Prize) and the Gathering of the Clans (July, Scottish festival). Caribou Beach Provincial Park rounds it out.
