Beautiful Rural Nova Scotia, Canada

#Nova_Scotia_Canada
Rural Nova Scotia has a coastline that is around 13,000 kms (8,000 miles) which includes everything from rugged shoals, steep cliffs to sandy beaches
So this blog will focus on the rural area of the Province & all its diverse beauty

The Golden Age of Piracy was during 1690-1730 when Nova Scotia was largely unsettled by the Europeans, so it was a great location with all its inlets & coves for the privateers to hide
The last major pirate trial in Nova Scotia was in 1844 thus ending this saga of history

Because of rumors of hidden treasures to be found here in our Province ( especially Oak Island located in Mahone Bay) people have been searching & digging for over 200 years with not much luck, which adds to the folklore to the Pirate Saga of Nova Scotia

One of the most visited places in North America is Peggys Cove which is an area formed by the glaciers millions of years ago.
(For more on Peggys Cove look for my blog on this site)

KeyTip; it is free to walk around by please be careful on the black part of the rocks near the Atlantic Ocean. If you get washed off, the survival rate is very low because of hypothermia or being bashed against the granite by the waves





 Some of our sights as we leave Peggys Cove
 Plus i would recommend continuing onto The Lighthouse Route to Chester, Mahone Bay & Lunenburg ( UNESCO Heritage Site)



Nova Scotia is considered a peninsula as we are connected to the next Canadian Province of New Brunswick by a 28 km ( 17 miles) wide piece of land
But as you can see the ocean is never too far from our view..... so 95% an island 



Low Tide at Minus Basin for now.
But when High Tide comes in it can reach 12-16 meters (40-54 feet) 


There is also over 3000 lakes in Nova Scotia
 So it is very common to have a property on some form of water here in our Province 
Nature always finds away to survive, amazing! 



Believe or not we do have a wine region.... as you continue to see all these pictures of rocks 😂
It is near the Bay of Fundy area, as the glaciers dumped all the soil collected from these parts of the Province 


Water Sports on our Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia

The Fall Season is when we get our majority of Cruise Ships ( 200+ in total for the year ) to view our  colors



For where ever your travels take you in Nova Scotia please enjoy all the Natural Beauty it has to offer

In closing i include one of my acrylic pieces paying homage to my home Province of Nova Scotia
