Experience Yarmouth and Acadian Shores

The southwestern most tip of Nova Scotia easily attracts travelers with distinct French flair, fabulous food, and hospitality unlike any other. Visit the port of Yarmouth, located approximately 3 hours from Halifax, and see how more than 250 years of relationship with the sea can shape a town. Uncover an extraordinary Acadian past in towns such as Clare, Argyle or Pubnico, the world's oldest Acadian community. From one of Canada's richest fishing grounds to gatherings with lots of music referred to as a "tyme" - Yarmouth and Acadian Shores truly is an experience shaped by the sea.
