Taste Your Way Through Nova Scotia: Eastern Shore

Head out to the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia and enjoy all it has to offer.  Whether you’re from the area, driving through or stopping for a visit, we’ve put together a list of some of the great things you can do in Eastern Shore this summer:

Craft Beer

Prepare for your next night out by stopping at the Rare Bird Pub in Guysborough to try their Rare Bird Craft Beer.  Hand-crafted using pure artesian water from the pristine Eastern Shore and brewed with a balance and character that truly refreshes; Rare Bird captures our unique seacoast spirit.

Fresh Mussels

See how mussels are grown and harvested at Aquaprime Mussel Ranch.  Don’t forget to grab a bucket of their delicious mussels before you leave!

Dinner with a view

If you’re looking for a beautiful place to stay, check out Liscombe Lodge where they also have dinner with a gorgeous view.

Romance

Taking a trip with that special someone? Stay at DesBarres Manor Inn, voted one of the 10 most romantic hotels in the world, where you can enjoy a picnic lunch by the sea.

Smokin’

If you like smoked fish, J. Willy Krauch & Sons is the place for you.  The fish is smoked in Krauch’s own traditional Danish-style smokehouse and some say it’s the best they’ve ever tasted. Take the time to peruse their wall of memorabilia – photos, laminated letters from Buckingham Palace as well as clippings of reviews from the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune.

These are just some of the things you can do while visiting or exploring the Eastern Shore in Nova Scotia.  We want to see your photos and hear your stories this summer, so make sure to tag us in your Twitter, Facebook and Instagram posts! #TasteofNS
