5. Gaff Point Trail

We thoroughly enjoyed hiking this trail, it really had a little bit of everything. A beautiful beach, stunning water views, and stunning treks through wooded areas. The walk through the fir trees was one of my favourite portions of the trail, the smell was amazing. There are some exposed roots in places and the walk across the beach rocks is a little challenging on the ankles, but overall a pretty easy to moderate trail. I recommend walking the farm land area over the hill instead of the entire beach as it gives you a break from the sea rocks. The owners have it marked and don’t mind as long as the horses are not in the field. Once you get to the loop we went to the right first. It means you finish on the water view side of the trail. The trail in total including walking Hirtle Beach is about 6.6 km. We finished the entire trail in about 90 mins, this included stopping for pics etc. I highly recommend for anyone of any age, definitely a trail I’d return to.
6. Ironworks Distillery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 373 reviews
Ironworks Distillery opened its doors to the public in June 2010. Situated in the old town of Lunenburg and residing in the building that used to be the old marine blacksmith shop, we create small batches of artisan spirits using produce from the Maritimes. We make vodka and brandy using Annapolis Valley apples, Pear Eau-de-vie, Rum, Gin and several delicious fruit liqueurs. Tastings are free. Please contact us to check on the tour availability.

Ironworks is an artisanal cute little distillery located in the historic port town of Lunenburg. My wife and I stopped in while we were visiting Lunenburg. We sampled several different liqueurs and vodka and loved all the sampling, especially the sweet blueberry liqueur. The shop was beautiful and well preserved. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this stop in Lunenburg!

I was on a walking tour of Lunenburg and our guide arranged for the church organist to play for our group on our visit. Allow at least 30 minutes to see the church and grounds. You can also walk downhill to the water and take a stroll of that area.
9. Blue Rocks

Blue Rocks is only 6km from Lunenburg and is a gorgeous tiny, quaint spot to visit on a sunny day! There is even a lovely, clear spot to walk in the water if you wish with small stones underfoot. I believe there is a nearby spot to rent kayaks as well! This was one of my favourite scenic spots on our recent south shore vaca! You wouldn’t spend a lot of time here, but it is gorgeous!

Beautiful view with nice walking area and green space. There isn’t a lot of parking but downtown Liverpool was made for walking and has street parking close by.
