Let the Games Begin

April’s Magic

Experience the magic of Nova Scotia’s South Shore this April, where nature, culture, and warm hospitality await your discovery.

As April unfolds, the South Shore invites you to slow down and savour the beauty of its landscapes. Take a leisurely drive along the iconic Lighthouse Route, where each bend reveals hidden coves, sandy beaches, and rugged coastline. Feel the day melt away as you relax on the shores of Crescent Beach or Summerville Beach Provincial Park, the gentle rhythm of the waves providing a soothing soundtrack to your escape.

For those eager to explore, April offers an ideal blend of outdoor adventures and cultural immersion. Lace up your hiking boots and wander through the many trails that lead you through our lush forests and allow the serene lakeshores to beckon. And if golf is your game, tee off against breathtaking backdrops as the golfing season kicks off in April.

Delve into the South Shore’s rich history as you wander through historic villages and towns. Explore the Old Court House in Barrington, home to a collection of indigenous artifacts, a collection of over 4000 military artifacts as well as other community related exhibits, the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre to learn the story of the world’s largest free African population outside of Africa, in the late 18th century in Nova Scotia or the DesBrisay Museum in Bridgwater, the hub of heritage, art and culture for Bridgewater and Lunenburg County.
