Picnics & Patios: Yarmouth and Acadian Shores
Grab your favourite blanket, load up the car and hit the road or take a stroll to your favourite restaurant, winery or beer garden because whether you’re looking for a fun-filled day of adventure or an afternoon of relaxation, Nova Scotia has the picnic or patio for you.
Yarmouth & Acadian Shore
This is where the land meets the sea. Where English and Acadian cultures coexist. It’s quiet and peaceful, yet full of adventure. And where the darkest skies let stars shine their brightest. It’s where the food is fresh and local, and the music is too. It’s where everything comes together. It’s where the stars align.*
Picture-Perfect Patios
Ye Olde Argyler Lodge
Enjoy a traditional lobster boil at what some call ‘a little piece of heaven on Earth’. Ye Olde Argyler Lodge is snugly located on Lobster Bay overlooking Old Point Channel. You can enjoy a large pot of boiled clams, mussels, lobster, corn and potatoes while you sit on the shore and watch the sun set.
Hatfield House Culinary Experience & Restaurant
The Hatfield House Culinary Experience & Restaurant is a New England style home nestled in the East bank of the Tusket River. Recent renovations have added an extension to the patio deck to allow for a beautiful view of their gardens while you dine. Raise a glass of Nova Scotia wine for their elegant dining showcasing our locally fished seafood.
Rudder’s Seafood Restaurant
Located in the downtown Yarmouth core, Rudder’s Seafood Restaurant & Brew Pub is recognized as the social hub of the waterfront. It has a spacious wrap-around deck overlooking the Yarmouth waterfront, and a floating dock marina for the convenience of nautical guests. Live music and entertainment fill the space most of the week to keep your toes tappin’.
Pleasant Picnics
The 19 acres of well-groomed grounds at the Cape Forchu Lighthouse makes for an excellent space to adventure and enjoy a picnic. Pick up some ready-to-eat seafood from producers like J. Willy Krauch & Sons and Comeau’s Sea Foods Limited to add traditional flavours of Nova Scotia to your experience.
