Halifax Real Estate: Nova Scotia Information (part
1)
They call it Canada's Ocean Playground, and it's no
wonder why. The Atlantic Ocean plays a starring role in Nova Scotia's
landscape, its economy and culture.
Nova Scotia's only land connection to mainland Canada is via the Isthmus
of Chignecto - a 27-kilometer wide strip of land that links the province
to New Brunswick. The rest of Canada's second smallest province is surrounded
by ocean. In fact, no one place is more than 55 km from ocean coast.
Nova Scotia is famous for quaint seaside fishing villages and lighthouses
like the one found at Peggy's Cove, perhaps Nova Scotia's most photographed
landmark.
