Belle Cote, Nova Scotia
Translated, this area would be 'beautiful side' and it is well
named. Belle Cote is found on the north side of the Margaree River
and Margaree Harbour, where the river meets the ocean.
There's a busy wharf here, where lobster, crab, scallop and tuna fishers come
home and sort their catch for market. The best time to see this
activity is midday from spring to fall. On the other side of the
long breakwater which protects the harbour, there's Belle Cote
beach, a long expanse of sand and pebbles which is an excellent
walking beach. There's also fresh seafood for sit-down dining or
take-out at the Island Sunset Resort; there's also a spa if you need
pampering. There's also The Hungry Skipper, a family restaurant
nearby on the Cabot Trail.
If you're here at the right time of year,
you can enjoy 'Belle Cote Days,' a local celebration with food,
music and dance. If you drive the road on the north side of the
river toward East Margaree, there are some spectacular views out
over the Margaree River.
