Halifax MY Home Town

by easterntrekker - last update: Sep 5, 2005

Canada's Ocean Playground
I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia . If you haven't been here , it's a must for your travel "to go list".
We are an ocean province ....so if you like the water ....this is the spot to be . ...many great beaches ( although.... a little cool most of the summer unless you head for one of the many lakes ), lots of fishing and boating and whale watching...right from the Halifax harbour front.
Oh and of course the seafood....did I mention we have the best lobster found anywhere. ...we get a kick out of dining in France and finding Nova Scotia lobster on the menu.
Lots of unspoiled beauty...many trails for bilking or hiking.

There is lots of music here as well . Our Celtic Heritage comes through and has turned out some pretty good musicians...any night of the week you will hear live music from many of the downtown pubs and clubs.

Travelling furthur east ...is Cape Breton . This is a about a 3 hour drive and well worth it to see the beautiful Bras d'or Lakes ( which is really an inland sea) complete with white cliffs.

 Hi the screen to ask a question isn't coming up. Can you tell me can you see the whales from Bayswater beach?

 The food, especially the fish sounds so good and fresh, maybe a visit inOctober is the ideal time. Thanks for all the info and great photos Anita and for checking out my Calgary page. Enjoy your next trip west to Cochrane.

 Great page, Anita... especially the food tips. Looks like a great town for fish and chips. I may skip the 3 scallops for $38 thing, though. We are heading to the Maritimes this fall.
