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.

Deadman's Island

Reviewed By Resort549310

Saw a YouTube video about this and decided to check it out. Beautiful area and unique site. Enjoyed reading the plaques with the sun on our backs. The hike was short but worth doing to see the Northwest Arm from a different view. Look for the park sign on Pineview drive across from #21 Pineview. We missed it and walked in on Cedar Terrace, which has a very steep grade. Worth making the trip.

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.

Truro Tidal Bore Viewing Visitor Centre

Reviewed By boutiquewaterfrontl

This is a must-see for sure. As it is free to view, easy to find, hosts plenty of free parking and is accessible to almost everyone is would be a shame to miss this natural event. You may want to google the best time to visit for maximum experience.
