Take a Virtual Tour with Us
Along Nova Scotia's Breathtaking Eastern Shore

You could easily spend your entire vacation on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore, but Highway 7's 'virtual tour' helps you explore only three blissful days "On the Way to Cape Breton". Join us as we amble along Marine Drive, Canada's longest coastal highway!


Day 1
Heading Out

It's a leisurely day trip from Halifax to Antigonish or Canso, but you may want to spend your entire vacation exploring Highway 7, Nova Scotia's wild and magnificent Marine Drive.

The city behind you, adventure before you. Take off your shoes. Life is good.

Jump Off
Lawrencetown

and Acadian Chezzetcook
You know you have really arrived at the ocean when you crest the hill and see Lawrencetown Beach stretching far into the distance. This is a popular surfing area.

Jump Off
Jeddore-Musquodoboit Harbour

At the cross-roads to the picturesque Musquodoboit Valley, Musquodoboit Harbour is home to Nova Scotia's longest sand beach at Martinique and a center for shopping and recreation.

Day 2
Jeddore to Ecum Secum

Jeddore to Sheet Harbour, the Bay of Islands to Ecum Secum and all places in between - the eastern boundary of Halifax Regional Municipality, our so called Supercity.

Day 3
Along Marine Drive to Canso & Guysborough

On to Canso and Mulgrave, via Liscombe, Sherbrooke and historic Guysborough on beautiful Chedabucto Bay.

To Antigonish, Port Hawkesbury and the 'Road to the Isles', Cape Breton.
