Shore
Hector Heritage Quay, Pictou

Welcome to Nova Scotia’s
beach destination.
W ith 12 Provincial Park beaches to choose from, this shore
is a beach bum’s paradise. There is always room for your
beach towel so don your swimsuit and sunhat and head
out to Melmerby, Pomquet, or Heather Beach, where the sparkling
salt water averages more than 22°C (72°F) in the summer (see pages
142 –144). These long, sandy beaches are supervised in July and August.
This climate also lends itself well to the local wine industry, which is
anchored by Jost Vineyards, the province’s oldest and largest winery
(see page 141). Savour a glass along with some delicious local cheese,
as you overlook Jost’s lush vineyards.
Northumberland Shore is a great place to get off the beaten path
and find your own unexpected discovery. Enjoy the fragrant aroma
of rolling lavender fields at Seafoam Lavender Gardens (see page
140) or stop at Lismore Sheep Farm (see page 142) to visit the animals
and learn how their wool is spun into beautiful fabrics. Then, dis-
cover the magic of maple at Sugar Moon Farm (see page 141) with
a behind-the-scenes look (and taste!) at how they make some of
Nova Scotia’s finest maple syrup.
