Nova Scotia is a true ocean playground with 13,300 km of breathtaking coastline. Spend your days engaging in ocean activities like hiking along the coast, surfing, kayaking, or simply lounging at the beach. However, don’t let the sun setting be the end of your ocean fun. To fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean and wake up to a new day of exploration, reserve a room, cottage, or the ideal campsite near the coast.
Here are just a few, which range from luxurious resorts to basic yet breathtaking camping grounds with million-dollar views:
Meat Cove Campground: The Meat Cove Campground on Cape Breton Island is a great place to camp if you want to experience the true freshness of the ocean air. Awaken in your sleeping bag and keep an eye out for whale pods, soaring eagles, and breathtaking sunsets. The rustic cabins can be reserved in advance, or camp sites are first come, first served.
The stunning architecture and tasteful beach motif design of the Quarterdeck Beachside Villas and Grill, which is located on a lovely but quiet stretch of white sand beach, will immediately put you in the mood for relaxation at any time of year. One of the best places on the South Shore to find locally caught, fresh seafood is The Grill.
White Point Beach Resort: This all-year-round resort was named by National Geographic Traveller as one of the top 10 coastal destinations in the world. You can stay in cosy oceanfront cottages and comfortable hotel rooms. Along the 1-kilometer stretch of white sand beach, beachcombing transforms into stargazing as the day gives way to night. Visit their distinctive Oceanfront Treehouses and Glomes, which are opulent camping domes! These will make for a truly unique getaway because they are private, opulent, and close to the Atlantic Ocean.
Argyler Lodge, which has a view of Lobster Bay
The authentic lobster boils at Argyler Lodge, a restaurant and country inn with a view of Lobster Bay, are legendary. Sip a refreshing beverage on their sizable deck as you watch the sun set over the ocean and the numerous islands that make up Lobster Bay. Allow the sea breeze to tousle your hair.
When you stay at Driftwood by the Bay, you can take in breathtaking sunsets and incredible stargazing over St. Mary’s Bay. Gaze up at the stars from the hot tub on your private deck and from your bed as you stare up through the stargazer skylight as you fall asleep to the sound of gentle waves lapping the nearby shore.
