Bridgewater
This pocket-sized Nova Scotia town sits at the navigable limit of the LaHave River on Nova Scotia's South Shore, with a café and restaurant scene that is unusually rich for its size. Bridgewater is the largest town on the South Shore, and the wider Lunenburg County region holds UNESCO World Heritage recognition — making it a practical base for exploring the area.
