Mahone Bay
Three churches standing side by side and reflected in the bay, a classic scene, with a small town full of craft shops and cafés.
Mahone Bay is a seaside town about 10 kilometers northeast of Lunenburg. Its most famous view is three churches of different denominations standing side by side at the water's edge, their reflections clear on calm days, making it a signature landscape of Nova Scotia's South Shore. The main street is lined with craft shops, pottery studios, wooden boat workshops and cafés. Each early October the Scarecrow Festival fills the town with scarecrows of every kind. It is about one hour's drive from Halifax and is usually visited on the same day as Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove.
