Its historic red buildings stand out along the waterfront anchoring a colourful picture-postcard scene topped off by the spire of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Lunenburg is a walking town, its narrow streets more suited to horse and carriage days than modern day vehicles. Find a place on the outskirts to park your RV then stroll past colourful buildings to the historic waterfront.

Lunenburg is home to the “Bluenose II”. When the schooner is in port, you can take a two-hour sail or just hop on board for a tour.

A little more than a ten-minute drive away, picturesque Mahone Bay has upscale shops and restaurants designed to appeal to the tourist trade. In its earlier years, wooden boat building was the main industry here and the Mahone Bay Museum celebrates this history providing visitors with an in-depth understanding of the community’s heritage. Cross the river for an iconic view of the town dominated by the spires of three churches, frequently photographed and featured on many postcards and calendars.
