Nova Scotia Biking
Lighthouse Route & the Bay of Fundy
Climb a hill in Canada's version of the Scottish highlands. Turn and look out at the crashing North Atlantic. Spot seals, porpoises and great-blue herons at the water's edge and feel connected to all things in nature. Pedal past historic lighthouses and colorful fishing boats bobbing in cozy harbors. Savor fresh Nova Scotian lobster, crab and salmon, give in to the laid-back pace of village life and realize why this province is home to more centenarians than anywhere else in North America. You're in Nova Scotia - enjoy every minute of it.
