NOVA SCOTIA

The recommended travel seasons include summer and fall; spring for avid fisherman who don't mind the blackflies. The weather in summer is sublime, usually with glorious sunny days and warm temperature, almost always cooling off at night. Fall color rivals that anywhere in North America, with crisp days and cold nights. The level of accommodations and dining in the province gets steadily better each year, and we have recommendations for several very worthwhile destinations.

Accommodations

Halifax: The Westin Nova Scotian: a large, former railroad hotel overlooking the Halifax harbor; walking distance to downtown restaurants

South Shore/Yarmouth: Trout Point Lodge: small luxury country inn with excellent seafood located next to a vast wilderness preserve

Cape Breton:

Eastern Shore: Liscombe Lodge Government-owned hotel on a beautiful river; typical local food
