Musquodoboit Harbour Waterfront
An Eastern Shore estuary town 45 minutes from Halifax — a long tidal harbour, Martinique Beach and some of the East Coast's best surf.
Overview
At the mouth of the Musquodoboit
Musquodoboit Harbour is a rural community on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore, in the Halifax Regional Municipality, set where the Musquodoboit River meets the sea about 45 km east of downtown Halifax. The harbour is a winding, tidal estuary roughly 10 km long.
Settled by Loyalists in the 1780s on a river the Mi'kmaq long used for salmon and travel, it's now a service centre for the surrounding Eastern Shore.
On the water
Beach-and-surf country
The area is home to the longest sandy beach in Nova Scotia and some of the best surf on the East Coast, with the estuary itself prized for fishing and paddling.
Waterfront ranges from harbour and estuary homes to coastal cottages along the Eastern Shore, generally well below Halifax-proper pricing despite the short drive.
