City information

Boardwalk in Digby

Boardwalk in Digby

Digby, Nova Scotia, is known as ” The Scallop Capital of the World”. Located on the Bay of Fundy with the highest tides in the world, provides us with a spectacular variety of shoreline from steep cliffs to sandy beaches. From those shorelines exists the opportunity to view all types of marine life including shorebirds, whales and seals.

The fishery is and has been the main industry over the years.  Lobster, scallop and ground fish are the main species fished at this time. Although we offer a rural setting, we are only 2 – 3 hours via 100 series highway to the City of Halifax and its International Airport. That same amount of time on the Princess of Acadia ferry will put you in Saint John, New Brunswick, one of the oldest cities in North America.
