Nova Scotia Tourism News Summer 2021
New accommodations opening in Nova Scotia this year include the MUIR at The Queen’s Marque, a Marriot Autograph Collection five-star property on the Halifax Waterfront, featuring a custom-designed speakeasy, guest-only art gallery, cold plunge and hydrotherapy pools, a salt room, and even private yacht access. In the Annapolis Valley, an under-the-radar wine region on the western coast of the province, the Inn at the Winery at Grand Pré will open in summer 2021 in the family owners’ renovated farmhouse. Nearby at the Grand Pré National Historic Site, O’TENTiks are available to book beginning this spring, which resemble a tent and cabin against the landscape of green meadows and weeping willows of the west coast.
Opening this summer, the Cape Smokey gondola will take 4 minutes to transfer visitors from the base to the top of Cape Smokey and will be accessible year-round for skiers and snowboarders in the winter and hikers and cyclists in the summer.
As Nova Scotia’s 6th UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark tells the story of the supercontinent Pangea from 300 years ago. With a 102-mile drive along the Bay of Fundy shoreline, there are hiking trails, parks, museums, lighthouses, and beaches. Bookable experiences include kayaking adventures, boat tours, golfing, and museums.
