Your Guide To Accommodations In Nova Scotia
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Since the time of the Vikings, Yarmouth County's shores have
welcomed visitors. The Town of Yarmouth is a historic seaport having
been the second largest port of the registry in Canada, during the
late 1800s.
History and Heritage abound and local architecture tells
a tale of generations of successful commercial activity. Stroll
along our historic walking tour, visit Canada's only provincial
Firefighter Museum, home to a major collection of ship paintings and
models. Photograph one of the finest lighthouse sites on this
continent at Cape Forchu and also the world's smallest drawbridge at
Sandford.
Swim in our lakes, canoe the rivers, relax on a beach,
walk the nature trails and celebrate friendship, food and fun at any
of our fourteen Festivals running from June-October.
Yarmouth is the
regional centre for South Western Nova Scotia and a gateway to the
Lighthouse Route and the
Evangeline Trail. It is home to an
International Airport, two provincial bus lines, and two ferries
departing daily in the summer from Bar Harbour and Portland, Maine.
The South Western tip of Nova Scotia owes much of its history to the
sea and has many links with New England.
