In this video, we're continuing our Nova Scotia road trip with a fun day visiting the LaHave Islands! This was one of our favourite days travelling along Nova Scotia's South Shore, mainly because we were just winging it and that seems to be our favourite way to travel.
We kicked off the morning driving from Lunenburg to LaHave (via the LaHave River ferry), and once we arrived there we made a stop at the famous LaHave Bakery; they're well-known for their baked goods and sandwiches and they have a beautiful outdoor seating area, so it makes the ideal stop along the way. Plus, you also have LaHave Books on the backside of the building in case you want to pick up a beach read for a fun day of island hopping.
Having eaten an early lunch, we drove over to Crescent Beach, which is a tombolo; this is when the mainland is connected to an island via a long strip of land, in this case, a beach! From there, we started our LaHave Islands adventure driving to George Island to Bush Island to Jenkins Island to Bell Island to LaHave Island. The islands mainly consisted of forest and private cottages, but we did find a nice little spot on the rocks, which would've been ideal for a picnic had we not eaten all of our food so early...but you know us!
It was then onward to Rissers Beach Provincial Park, where we enjoyed a nice walk on the beach as well as the boardwalk which takes you through marshland.
We made a few more stops that afternoon including Hirtle's Beach, which marks the start of the hike to Gaff Point. We were running a bit short on time, so we opted for a visit to an ice cream truck instead of doing the hike.
And lastly, we drove to The Ovens Natural Park, which was the site of the 1861 gold rush. We got to learn about this fascinating history while hiking the Sea Cave Trail, which took us down to all sorts of caves and tunnels. This was one of the highlights of the day and a fun way to wrap up another great day of our Nova Scotia road trip!
