Your Guide To Accommodations In Nova Scotia
Digby, Nova Scotia
In 1783 Digby was settled by a hearty band of United Empire
Loyalists led by Rear Admiral, Sir Robert Digby, Captain of the HMS
Atlanta, a 24 gun Brigantine, leading the North American Squadron.
In appreciation of Adm. Digby's leadership and guidance our early
settlers from New York and New England named their new town in
honour of their benefactor.
The Town of Digby has been an active fishing and lumber
producing community throughout the years. Famous for the delicious
scallops harvested from our local waters, spectacular vistas of The
Annapolis Basin from our waterfront, clear crisp air, and of course
the incredible tides (7 to 10 metres.) in our harbour, we offer our
visitors a wonderful opportunity to visit or to settle in for a
relaxed way of life.
Digby is central to many activities, including historic sites, some
of the best Whale Watching in North America, lovely parks, hiking
trails, and our own local championship golf course.
Located in Digby are a variety of accommodations such as
B&B's
and hotel and motels, cafes,
restaurants, shops, and a full service marina for our yachting
visitors, including the services of an active shipyard for major
repairs if needed.
We also offer a wide variety of services and facilities in keeping
with the role of Shire Town of Digby County.
Located near Rt. 101, a major highway, close to Digby Municipal
Airport (the highest Airport in N.S.!), and the only year round
ferry service to Nova Scotia arrive by ferry from Saint John, New
Brunswick via the Princess of Acadia. Digby is also just a short
drive to The CAT, which travels to Portland or Bar Harbour, Maine
from neighbouring Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Digby offers entrepreneurial visitors
a great place to start a business, or to grow an existing venture,
in our Industrial Park.
We welcome you to come and enjoy our mild climate, friendly
