Shelburne
is
the place you want to be this summer! A gem of a place in the heart of Nova
Scotia's South Coast. this charming harbourside town has a grand selection of
immaculately preserved 18th century houses and public buildings, the harbour
plays host each summer to hundreds of local and visiting sailboats of every size
and is also the site this year of the National Albacore Racing Regatta.
Harbour Tours leave the marina three times daily,
including a sunset cruise and some on-board kitchen parties
Canada's history comes alive here, with the largest historical
re-enacting group in the maritimes, who produce and present historical
spectacles during mid-summer Founders' Days. The annual Pirate Rendezvous in
August is a family-focused event certain to be a delight for kids and moms and
dads.
With more restaurants and cafes per capita than most
places in the world, Shelburne is a terrific place to sit, eat, drink and enjoy
the atmosphere - whether on a harbourside deck or picnic knoll, an intimate,
award-winning cafe or a main street outdoor cafe.
Live music, dance and theatre abounds in area, at
the local arts centre at the waterfront Friday Night Hootenanny and at community
halls throughout the county.
The famed Unesco sites of Lunenburg and Kejimikujik
Park are just minutes away, as are white sand beaches, wild rivers and historic
lighthouses.
The selection
of cottages, suites, motels and lodges couldn't be better - whatever your
desire or budget.
