In Their Words

"The town of Mahone Bay doesn't shut down with the ending of summer and the coming of fall and winter. In fact, any time of year is a wonderful opportunity to visit this lovely harbour-side community famous for its three church spires that reflect in the ripples of the bay. Most of the quaint shops and lovely eateries stay open all year and welcome visitors who make the short jaunt down from Metro Halifax."
Travel writers: Dave Stephens and Susan Randles
