Southwest Nova Scotia, the perfect year-round vacation destination!

From the glorious purity of the winter snow, the smells of fresh blossoms and the spectacular blue skies of summer to the vibrant orange and yellows of fall and the hearty reds of our harvests, this region of Nova Scotia offers a year-round lifestyle as colourful as our rainbows.

Over 400 Bald Eagles winter in the community of Sheffield Mills, giving rise to a celebration of nature with an abundance of winter activities and romantic retreats. As the snow disappears and the sun heats the land, the landscape bursts with new colours, sites and smells of spring, and fruit blossoms.

Southwest Nova Scotia offers a spectacular summer with a bounty of things to see and do, from swimming and cycling to camping, bird and whale watching. Meander through our beautiful gardens or enjoy an evening of drama.

As autumn approaches and the nights cool, enjoy our harvest celebrations with pumpkins and apples, blueberries and grapes. The cuisine and activities are diverse and the fun aplenty!

Winter, spring, summer and fall, our communities roll out the green carpet to offer relaxation, recreational fun and scenic beauty.
