About Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia, Canada's second smallest province, encompasses about 21,000 square miles and is almost an island. It is connected to the remainder of the country only by the Isthmus of Chignecto. Situated on the southeastern coast of Canada halfway between the Equator and the North Pole Nova Scotia enjoys a moderate climate with milder winters than most of Canada due to the effects of the Gulf Stream. Summers are cooler along the coast and warmer inland. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Bay of Fundy, Northumberland Strait and the Gulf of St. Lawrence Nova Scotia has over 7000 kilometers of coastline ranging from spectacular beaches to rugged cliffs. With its fertile, rolling farmland, beautiful inland lakes and ample coasts Nova Scotia is an outdoor playground for sailing, golfing, fishing, hiking and site-seeing. The easy-going, stress-free lifestyle makes Nova Scotia a great place to live, visit, work or play. Properties along the coasts have become more and more sought after as second homes for many from away including Europeans and Americans. As well, there are many who prefer to have a lakefront or riverfront property.
