BY CAR
Nova Scotia is only connected to the rest of Canada by a piece of land 28km wide. If you are traveling by road, you will enter Nova Scotia by crossing the New Brunswick - Nova Scotia border in Amherst via the Trans Canada Highway.
From here you have three options:
- For a complete tour of the coastline take Exit 4 off the Trans Canada Highway 104 onto Trunk Highway 2, next take a brief jaunt on route 302 before switching to route 242 to Joggins where you will continue your coastal journey on route 209 until you reconnect to Trunk Highway 2 again in Parrsboro.
- Take Exit 4 off the Trans Canada Highway 104 and continue on Trunk Highway 2 direct to Parrsboro where you will continue along the coast.
- Continue on Trans Canada Highway 104 East to Exit 15 to Highway 102 to Truro.
From Truro you can follow the Bay of Fundy shoreline by traveling to route 215 through Maitland and Walton. This route connects to Trunk Highway 1, which can be followed all the way down the coast to Yarmouth.
Another route from Truro is to head south on Highway 102 towards Halifax. Exit onto Highway 101, which will travel parallel to the Fundy Coastline from Windsor to Yarmouth.
Nova Scotia has a number of scenic travelways throughout the province to assist visitors as they plan their vacations and travel throughout the province.
