Mahone Bay

Mahone Bay waterfront area is peaceful and scenic, especially on a beautiful sunny day. Very nice for a leisurely stroll to enjoy the atmosphere.

Perhaps the most famous landmarks of Mahone Bay are the three historical churches next to each other. They are in a row along Edgewater Street facing the waterfront, and they belong to the Anglican, Lutheran and United denominations.

Surrounding the town of Mahone Bay are about 100 islands which give the town a very scenic atmosphere especially on a clear and calm day. The Main Street of Mahone Bay is a lovely place to walk around as it is scattered with colourful shops selling antiques, quilts, chocolates, pottery etc, The local people invite you with open arms making your stay very pleasurable.

Mahone Bay's Settlers Museum tells you more about the immigrants to this particular area of Nova Scotia. Many people with a German background came here in the 19th century and a large map in the museum shows where the settlers to Mahone Bay came from around that time. Apart from history-explaining maps and charts you can also see several items to be found in a typical 19th century Nova Scotian household.

 Mahone Bay is the perfect way to enjoy a day of dining, shopping and adventure.

If you don't feel like cooking or even preparing a meal  why not go down into Mahone Bay to The Cheesecake Gallery Bistro in Main Street, dine al fresco or sit in the dining room where you can enjoy local fresh fish and seafood caught from The Bay, all freshly cooked to order and also a great variety of main courses. The homemade deserts are to die for especially the famous Cheesecakes. If you would prefer local pub food there is The Mug and Anchor at The Old Mader's Wharf where steak and fries, burgers, fish and chips are the order of the day, with a wide selection of local and Canadian beers.
