Hope For Wildlife
Wildlife rescue service
👍👍 During our vacation to Halifax, we had to stop by Hope For Wildlife.
Madyson's been watching Hope in the Wild for a while now, and she's always wanted to go visit. As soon as we walked in, we got to enjoy very friendly volunteers. The wildlife center is very well laid out, and should be the standar...

Lawrencetown Beach Provincial Park
Beach
👍👍 My favourite beach in the province. Nice long beach with good wave and good breeze that no mosquito or horsefly bother you at all. Sunset at the beach is absolutely gorgeous. The beach is certainly rocky when you first walk down from the boardwalk, but if you walk further down near the water during...

Porters Lake Provincial Park
State park
😐 This park was kind of a deception. Explained below, plus 3 stars for park cleanliness and beautiful location; less 2 stars for lack of other maintenance and privacy.
There were only 2 staff that was mostly focused on cleaning due to COVID-19. And cleanliness was this park 2 stars (1 more because it...

Lawrencetown Grocery & Pizza

👍👍 Perfect vacation pizza after a long day traveling! Went back twice for pizza (3 times for cheesecake)
Update 2022: this place is just as good as it was when we were here some 6+ years ago. Staff really friendly, pizza cooked to perfection, crust is not too doughy and toppings are plentiful (got the...

Rainbow Haven Beach
Beach
👍👍 Had a great day here today! The sand is lovely and the water was quite refreshing. The kids loved diving in the waves and it was nice to have a beach that has lifeguards on duty. I highly recommend this beach. When we were leaving it was starting to get busy, so if possible get out there mid mornin...

Conrad's Beach
Beach
👍👍 This place is great! The beach is sandy and expansive, dog friendly and the water's not too choppy.
If you want a good walk, the beach extends a fair ways, changing to rocky and then changing back to sandy, with plenty of seashells to spot.
The sea spray is refreshing and there's only a few patche...

Lawrencetown Beach Cafe

👍👍 Absolutely dreamy and incredibly cosy spot on the beach. We visited on a foggy day so not much view but the warm home made Moroccan chicken lentil soup made up for it! Visit the boutique next room for some vintage artsy details and crafts from local artists. The hosts were fantastic and helped with...

Flag Pond Coastal Access Park
Park
👍👍 A beautiful spot. Parking lot is hard to find when driving by the area. It looks like a driveway. Watch for the sign IN the parking lot, not on the street. Once parked, it's a short and beautiful boardwalk to the beach. Not for swimming. Just sit on a park bench and be mesmurised by the waves rollin...

Ataraxy Farm
Farm
👍👍 This farm is really good place to visit, I love animals. Blair introduced us with his pets, he is very calm and explained everything. Emma was also very friendly. It was funny seeing male goats were trying to take a peak at female goats 🐐 😄 as it was their mating season (Look at third photo). Blai...
