Hall's Harbour

It is always nice to be by the water and to comb the beach. The highest tides in the world. Beautiful sunsets. Gift shops and fine seafood. Watch fishing boats come in to dock , or go on their way out to make their living.

Inverness Beach Boardwalk

Reviewed By NicholasCarson - Nova Scotia, Canada

We spent a sunny afternoon on this expansive and sandy beach. There are wooden walkways (wheelchair accessible) between the beach and Cabot Links Golf Course. The beach was clean and uncrowded despite it being a hot July afternoon. Ideal for kids and dogs ! - we walked for 2 hours. Lots of free parking and a beachside canteen/washrooms.

There is an excellent boardwalk along the waterfront which is a must-do if you would like a nice leisurely stroll, or jog if you prefer. We were there when a cruise ship was in port and that was a nice visual. The big fiddle offers a worthwhile photo-op.

Baddeck’s Boardwalk

Reviewed By MarcoNorthPolo - Lunenburg, Canada

The boardwalk was a lovely walk along the water. We stopped and sat next to the statues of Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel. A great view of Kidston Island.
