Sandford is a small fishing village located in Yarmouth County,
Nova Scotia.
Sandford has been a popular fishing spot for the last hundred years.
It is home to the world's smallest operating drawbridge. The
drawbridge was first built in the early 1915's and was originally
just a closed bridge under which boats could go at high tide to be
sheltered from the wind during storms, and when work had to be done
to the hulls of any boats. It was used in this manner for many years
up until a need was seen for more room in the harbour.
