Two more recommendations:
- Visit Digby and have Scallops.
- Rent a car and drive around the Cabot Trail.
When we last visited Nova Scotia, I made sure to take a quick trip to Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, toured the lighthouse and toured the memorial built to honor the SwissAir jetliner with 228 people aboard that crashed off Nova Scotia in September 1998. Morbid, maybe, but I had never been in the vicinity of a tragedy like this before.

- If I am interviewed by US immigration in Canada, will I be interviewed again when I arrive in the US?
I would highly recommend making a trip out to Martinique Beach. It is about an hour and fifteen minutes away from Halifax. Giant beautiful beach. But be warned it is usually about 10 degrees colder than in Halifax. Bring your sweatshirt!
Depending on the season it is also possible to rent surfboards and wetsuits. Check out the Happy Dudes surf shop.

If you are a geek (and what are you doing on this site if not?) try the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck. In his spare time after inventing the telephone, Bell organized the first powered flight in the British Empire right here on the frozen Lake Bras d’Or.
I’d check out the coast as much as possible. I drove in from New Brunswick, such a beautiful ride. There are a lot of little islands with strong French heritage and stuff. Try to see as much as possible. One of my favorite places, really. If you’re a golfer, there are some great courses out there as well.
Lunenburg is a UNESCO world heritage site. Tourists go there from all over. You could also walk the Cabot Trail (not that Cape Breton is super close to Halifax, but if you’re outdoorsy you’ll love it) or go see the tides in the Bay of Fundy. The provincial tourism board is not a bad place to start for details and more ideas.
