There is no doubt that Whale Cove offers some of the most
spectacular vistas anywhere in Nova Scotia. Whether you're driving
north or south on the Ceilidh Trail (Route 219), make the time to
stop and explore.
There's an excellent beach visible from the road,
with parking on the grass above, and accommodation at Whale Cove
Cottages, which offers unparalleled views of the beach, ocean and
sunsets, and fresh-cooked lobsters to boot. And what a picnic spot!
Just above the beach is a huge bluff which offers stunning views in
all directions. You can access it on a path from the beach or by a
small gravel road just to the south of the cottages. Look for a
small sign indicating the United Church Cemetery. A great place to
wander, ogle and feel the ocean breeze.
