Both Dartmouth and Halifax are vibrant places to visit and explore. Downtown Dartmouth is a small but bustling place with a wide choice of excellent places to eat out. Saturday mornings in Dartmouth offer a large farmers market with lots of international food options and local artisans. Which is conveniently located at the ferry terminal for Halifax. Halifax is easy to wander around, with lots of unique shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The board walk is stunning to walk along on a warm summers evening and enjoy an outdoor dining experience.

The one-hour drive from Littlewoods to Taylor Head is part of the experience. The stunning drive takes you further along the Eastern Shore, hugging the rugged coastline for the majority of it. Once there you can enjoy 14 kms of untouched coastal hiking, plus one of Nova Scotia's finest white sand beaches. With crystal clear waters it won't feel like you're in Nova Scotia. A heads up, make sure to bring lots of drinking water with you, there isn't anywhere for day visitors to fill up water bottles.
