There's a special feeling of welcome all along the
Sunrise Trail. It's a part of everything, from the warmth of
the gentle surf that caresses our broad sand beaches to the
friendly smiles you'll meet everywhere you go.
Come follow the sparkling Northumberland Shore through a
land of gently rolling beauty, where country roads wind
through lush green valleys, and each new rise offers an
unforgettable panorama of land and sapphire sea.
Good food and festivals are our specialty. Celebrate our
rich Scottish heritage at the world-famous Highland Games in
Antigonish, or get swept away by the captivating magic of
bagpipes, fiddles and traditional dancing at a gathering of
the clans.
We have a wealth of local festivals and events
and, if you love to eat, you'll find special festivities
celebrating our blueberries, fine wines and the delicious
lobsters of the Northumberland Strait.
There's a friendly, home-town flavour all along the Sunrise
Trail, and each town has its own unique delights waiting to
be discovered. Gracious Inns,
Bed & Breakfasts,
Hotels and Motels offer a home away from
home.
There are fine restaurants, colourful shops and art
galleries, as well as museums, summer theatre, and even a
fine arts centre.
