Explore the Eastern Shore in Fall

Northumberland Shore in the FallPerhaps one of the best kept secrets about our corner of the world is that autumn might just be the most glorious of all the seasons. It is the perfect equation of magnificent foliage, golden sun, and exactly the right temperature for having fun in our great outdoors. There comes a day in late August every year when the wind shifts and the particularly uplifting crispness that marks our autumn arrives in on the sea breeze. It is a day that Nova Scotia welcomes with a smile and so will you.

Scoping out the scenery from the seaside is an ideal way to experience the Eastern Shore in autumn. Sign on for a tour suited to your idea of adventure and to your vacation schedule. Set out from Tangier on a guided day –long tour of the Eastern Shore Islands in a sea kayak or step aboard a classic Nova Scotia cape Island boat for a sightseeing tour that takes you to where the seals, seabird, and sometimes even whales are playing in the bays and inlets.

Autumn brings a flurry of entertainment, festivals, and shopping extravaganzas as well. The Sherbrooke Village Courthouse Concert Series host Friday evenings full of music in a historic setting. There are heritage dinners and art fairs to enjoy from hooked rug exhibitions to hot turkey dinners. And autumn is the season of the Eastern Shore’s famous yard-sales like the 50 Mile Yard Sale and the 207 Yard Sale.
