10 Day Summer Road Trip in Nova Scotia and PEI

Scenic Nova Scotia is the perfect destination for a summer road trip. No matter which route you choose, rich history and diverse culture awaits you at every turn. You can embrace the laid-back maritime vibe of “Canada’s Ocean Playground” and really take your time passing through postcard-perfect fishing villages and quaint coastal towns.

My husband and I embarked on a summer road trip to Nova Scotia and PEI to experience the best of everything this corner of the world has to offer. In just 10 days, we explored the peaceful beauty of Kejimkujik, the vibrant city of Halifax, the untouched splendor of Cape Breton Island, and the beautiful beaches of PEI. We left knowing that we had only scratched the surface and vowed to return as often as we could.

Read on for our jam-packed 10-day road trip itinerary in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island .

DAY 1: Portland & Yarmouth

We departed from Portland, Maine on the overnight ferry to Yarmouth. Although the overnight option is no longer offered, this ferry is still a great option. The beautiful journey up the East Coast takes just five and a half hours. With restaurants, bars, and even a casino on board, it felt like a mini cruise before our vacation has even begun.

DAY 2: Yarmouth & Kejimkujik National Park

The next morning, we arrived in Yarmouth, a quiet fishing village that serves as the Southern gateway to Nova Scotia. We headed first to the richly historic port town of Annapolis Royal for lunch and a quick tour of the Fort Anne National Historic Site . We enjoyed a quiet moment sitting in the iconic red Adirondack chairs, taking in the views, and reflecting on the historical significance of this now peaceful place.

We continued on to Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site , where we checked into our campsite at Jeremy’s Cove. This was our first-ever time camping. So of course nature mocked us as we attempted to pitch our tent and build a fire in the middle of a heavy downpour. After getting camp set up, we biked to Jake’s Landing to rent a canoe. We refused to let the rain deter us from exploring the intricate waterways that were the canoe routes of the Mi’kmaw people for thousands of years. In the end, the rain only added to the quiet calm and mystique of this special place.

DAY 3: Lunenburg, Peggy’s Cove & Halifax

The next morning, we hit the road for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg. Lunenburg is a coastal town packed with history. It is most well-known for its distinctive waterfront where the storied Bluenose II is docked. A replica of the original fishing boat that found fame as a racing schooner, the Bluenose II now welcomes visitors aboard to learn all about its storied past and pay tribute to Nova Scotia’s rich shipbuilding heritage. After our tour, we had lunch at the Savvy Sailor on their outdoor deck overlooking the harbor.

We continued on to Peggy’s Cove , a popular destination just a few miles outside of Halifax. After fighting crowds of fellow tourists for the must-have shot of the lighthouse, we scrambled along the rocks for incredible views of the sea.

At last we arrived in Halifax. We didn’t think we needed much time here, but ended up being wowed by the city’s energy and charm. We checked into Hollis Halifax , offering spectacular views of the waterfront, then stopped for a pint at Alexander Keith’s Brewery. Founded in 1820, it is among the oldest commercial breweries in North America.

That evening, we enjoyed dinner at The Bicycle Thief , a romantic, waterfront bistro. Afterwards, we slipped into The Drawing Room, a secret bar upstairs at The Henry House . With a crackling fireplace, dark wood paneling, and comfy leather chairs, it was the perfect, intimate spot to end the night.

Day 4: Halifax & Cape Breton Island

The next morning, we embarked on a whirlwind tour of Halifax, starting with the Citadel National Historic Site . Sitting high atop a hill overlooking the city and harbor, you could spend hours wandering the grounds learning all about Halifax’s rich history or just a reverential pause to take in the stunning views and imagine how the surrounding landscape has changed over the years. We opted for the latter given our far-too-fleeting time frame.

Halifax also boasts a bustling waterfront boardwalk, lined with shops, museums, and restaurants. We explored the length of it before popping into The Lower Deck for a cold brew and fresh seafood lunch al fresco.

From there, we once again hit the road headed for the Cabot Trail, a scenic roadway that loops Cape Breton Island. Skirting the coastline and passing through Cape Breton Highlands National Park at its northernmost point, you’ll want to allow extra time to pull over for the numerous scenic overlooks and even the occasional moose spotting.

Cape Breton Island has a wild and untamed feel to it, evoking the highlands of Scotland for which Nova Scotia was named. We arrived at Broad Cove Campground near Ingonish after sunset. We set up camp and marveled at the utter peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of the city.

Day 5: Cape Breton Island

The next day, it was time to lace up our hiking boots and explore the wilderness afoot. One of the more popular trails on the east side of the Cabot Trail, Franey offers a stunning view of the valley below. After a steep climb, a large, rocky clearing and iconic red Adirondack chair were our reward. We made a loop by taking Forest Road back, and it took us a little over 3 hours, stopping for a picnic lunch along the way.

We then hit the road again, following the Cabot Trail north to Jumping Mouse Eco-Camping in Bay Saint Lawrence. This small, family-owned campsite ended up being the highlight of our trip. It offered a rare glimpse into the every day rhythm of this remote fishing community. One of the northernmost points of Nova Scotia, we felt like we have arrived at the edge of the world.

Our visit to the sleepy village happened to coincide with one of the most festive days of the year, Canada Day, and the community welcomed us to join their celebrations with open arms. Fishermen and their families gathered at the docks sharing Tupperware filled with homemade baked goods. Kids zipped by on scooters on their way to The Hut for lobster rolls and deep fried Mars bars. Fireworks sparkled over the water as the sun started to dip below the horizon.

Recently, we were devastated to learn that heightened government regulation forced Jumping Mouse out of business. We count ourselves lucky to have been among the lucky few to visit this special place. One day, we’d love to return to Bay Saint Lawrence to see the effect that time has (or hasn’t) had on its magic.

Day 6: Cape Breton Island

Our hike to Pollett’s Cove the next day was another highlight of our trip. I’m almost reluctant to share this untouched, hidden gem, but the secret is too good to keep to myself. The land is owned by a local lottery winner who generously makes it available for public use. Starting near Gampo Abbey, a Buddist monastery in Pleasant Bay, the 18km trail follows the coastline and offers epic views of the Gulf of St Lawrence. Not for the faint of heart, the hike includes a steep climb, rugged sections of thick brush, and a river crossing. We only passed a handful of people on the trail, and were rewarded at the end with the entire cove to ourselves – except for the herd of wild horses peacefully grazing on the valley floor.

We managed it as a day hike, but if we did it again, we would love to make it a backpacking trip so that we could have more time exploring the magical cove.

That night, we checked into Glenora Inn & Distillery near Inverness. We were hoping to experience a classic ceilidh dinner and dance, one of the Celtic cultural treasures of Cape Breton. Although the inn offers live music, we were disappointed that there was no dancing. You could likely find a more authentic experience elsewhere.

The next morning, it was time to say goodbye to Nova Scotia and set our sights on Prince Edward Island. We drove to Twin Shores Camping Area and spent the day relaxing on the beach. Be wary what time of year you visit. The camp was packed with families with kids in July, so we didn’t find the peace and quiet we were after. But it was still nice to set up our chairs on a little sand bar and enjoy the sunset. The water was too cold to swim in, but at least we didn’t need a cooler for our beers!

The next morning, we set out to bike the Cabot Loop (not to be confused with the Cabot Trail!) PEI has a very flat landscape, so biking is relatively leisurely. We stopped along the way for a picnic lunch and swimming.

That night, we drove to Charlottetown, the capitol of PEI, for boardwalk dining at Peakes Quay . This wasn’t originally part of our agenda, but no visit to the province is complete without trying famed PEI mussels and clams, fresh from the water!

Overall, we were not as impressed with our visit to PEI as we were with the splendor of Cape Breton Island. In hindsight, we would have skipped this province altogether to allow more time there. I’d recommend that if you’re into more adventurous hiking, you’ll have more to gain from Cape Breton Island. But if you’re looking for a low-key, family-friendly beach vacation, PEI is more for you. You’ll just have to visit to see for yourself!

Day 9: New Brunswick

It’s impossible to drive through coastal New Brunswick without getting a glimpse of the famous tides. So the next day, we broke up our drive by stopping at the Fundy National Park . We hiked the Fundy Trail to Hopewell Rocks, but didn’t have enough time to see the drastic change in water level.

That night, we set up camp at Kiwanis Oceanfront Camping . It’s an RV park not ideal for tent camping, but got us as close as possible to the border crossing so we could zip through customs first thing next morning.

Day 10: Home

Our final day was entirely a travel day. We drove over 9 hours from the border of Canada to Astoria, NY. We arrived home exhausted but happy, already planning our return trip to this beloved corner of the world.

What an exciting trip! We have only been to Canada one time, and we only spent 3 nights in Montreal. We were left wanting to explore more! I won’t lie, I laughed a little reading about setting up camp in the middle of a downpour, especially being your first time! Ha! I wrote an article about planning the first camping trip and I usually recommend starting with just one night, so you guys are brave! Cape Breton sounds amazing and right for our style, although having two little rugrats with us, it sounds like PEI would be more appropriate. I’m glad to hear they had easy biking trails there. Do you know if they had good hikes at PEI?

Hah we definitely should’ve started with one night (and read your article) before attempting our first camping trip! PEI would be great with kids. It is relatively flat, so less of a hiking destination, but check out Prince Edward Island National Park for some beautiful, coastal options!

Nova Scotia looks really beautiful! I’ve never been but would love to go one day…

I hope you get the chance to!

I am ashamed to admit that I AM Canadian, but haven’t been to the East coast since I was a young child. Thanks for this detailed post, you’ve truly inspired me to consider road tripping Nova Scotia in summer 2020!

I really hope you get the chance to! Summer is the perfect time to visit Nova Scotia. Thanks for reading!

I’ve been wanting to plan a trip to Canada – I’ve never been. This was really helpful! I love lighthouses and would love to check out Peggy’s Point Lighthouse!

It really is one of the most beautiful and iconic lighthouses I’ve seen! Hope you get a chance to visit!

Very cool! I did a road trip through Canada around Lake Superior, and it was awesome. Cape Breton looks incredible – also very interesting that a lottery winner bought land and opened it to the public, I like that. I’m a fan of all the hiking options as well.

Ooh a road trip around Lake Superior is on my bucket list next! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

After the success of our wonderful socially-distanced road trip to Colorado to see Kim and Brian in October, Halford and I are planning to go to the Maritime Provinces this spring. No camping and a lot less vigorous hiking for us, but you have given me some great ideas of the best places to visit! Thank you.

Ann, I’m so happy to hear this! I hope you and Halford enjoy your trip and I can’t wait to hear how it is. It’s sure to be beautiful in the spring. Please let me know if I can help with any other suggestions! Thank you for sharing.

Great post! Planning a trip around Nova Sxotia and PEI this summer and your ideas have got me so excited to get planning.

FYI from one flower lover to another — those beautiful purple flowers are actually lupines! They’re my favorite sign of summer :)

So excited for you – I hope you have the most amazing trip! And thank you for the flower ID, so great to know, updating my post!

A Trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island: 10 Key Differences To Know Before You Visit

• Destinations

As Canada’s smallest and second smallest provinces respectively, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia offer visitors incredible value in a very compact space. But while these neighbors have much in common, locals will eagerly share that the two East Coast spots are very different in some ways. It’s a situation I know well, as I grew up in Nova Scotia and spent considerable time in PEI. If you’re planning a trip, here are some key differences for the fellow travelers to ponder.

A Trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island – 10 Key Differences

1. transportation and getting around.

Nova Scotia is accessible by car, bus, the Via Rail train network, Halifax International Airport (which connects with most major Canadian cities, plus several popular U.S. and European destinations like Boston, Orlando, Frankfurt, Dublin, and London), and via a ferry with links to Maine, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. With a multitude of transport options, you should check the schedules and the trip cancellation fee.

Within the province, there is basic public transportation through Maritime Bus and some private shuttle services. However, for most trips your own transportation is essential. Nova Scotia is deceptively long, and roads are rarely straight. As a result, visitors often underestimate the amount of time it takes to get to key destinations (like North Sydney, where the Newfoundland ferry departs). Famous scenic drives like the Cabot Trail look like short trips but are day-long excursions.

Prince Edward Island has far fewer transportation options . As it’s an island, visitors must either fly in through Charlottetown or cross the water. The airport currently has flight connections to Halifax Stanfield International Airport and Halifax city and other major eastern Canadian cities like Toronto and Montreal but nothing with the United States or Europe. Those driving can either cross the Confederation Bridge, which links PEI and New Brunswick, or take the ferry.

Ferry reservations are recommended, especially during the busy summer season. Maritime Bus offers limited public transportation options on the island but it’s really designed to link major communities like Summerside and Charlottetown with mainland destinations in New Brunswick.

2. Geography

PEI is famous for its photogenic red roads (what you’re seeing is the rusty iron oxide) and is generally very flat. On the new Island Walk, a 400+ mile hiking route that circumnavigates the province, there are no slopes greater than a two-degree grade, making it perfect for anyone who wants a gentle trek.

Nova Scotia has a more diverse geography. In particular, the province’s Cape Breton Island is famous for its highlands which resemble those in Scotland. You can expect much more challenging hiking conditions, especially at Cape Breton Highland’s National Park .

3. Food And Drink

Nova Scotia and PEI have many culinary similarities. These are meat and potato style destinations, and often that “meat” is actually fish! These are wonderful spots for fresh seafood and shellfish and lobster, haddock, salmon, and trout are widely available.

In Nova Scotia, scallops are a point of local pride, and in the community of Digby, the scallops are often boasted as being the best in the world. Meanwhile, in PEI , oysters are a signature product. They’re transported around the world but happily are often served “buck-a-shuck” style at local restaurants.

While both provinces have French-speaking Acadian populations, their culinary impact is felt more strongly in Nova Scotia , where rappie pie (a local chicken and potato casserole) is popular in the south and chicken fricot (a hearty soup) is common in the north. Meanwhile, Charlottetown, PEI, boasts some of the best Lebanese food in Canada, the legacy of a community that first came to the island in the 1880s to escape religious persecution.

Nova Scotia is justifiably proud of its wine industry , which is fast earning global recognition. PEI’s vineyards are still developing and fruit wines and mead are common.

4. Arts And Culture

Prince Edward Island boasts some serious literary prowess, as the province was both the early home and long-term inspiration for Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of the Anne of Green Gables series. Anyone who counts themself as a “fan of Anne” will see PEI as a must-visit destination. Anne of Green Gables: The Musical is one of the oldest running theatre productions in Canada and is staged each summer at Charlottetown’s Confederation Center of the Arts.

But while PEI may claim the greatest fame through the Anne series, Nova Scotia has its own literary chops. Some of the biggest names in modern Canadian literature have roots here, and in particular, the province’s Cape Breton Island is particularly notable for its long list of prominent literary award winners. Nova Scotia has the highest number of universities per capita in Canada, and, as such, it rather fancies itself a bit of an intellectual leader (whether or not the rest of the nation feels this way is another thing altogether…).

Both provinces have strong artistic communities. Nova Scotia’s arts scene is generally better known, thanks in large part to the province being the home of folk artist Maud Lewis, whose work continues to gain prominence.

If you want gorgeous beaches, you cannot go wrong with Nova Scotia and PEI. They have some of the finest coastal scenery in the world. However, you might notice some subtle differences between the two provinces after visiting both for a while.

In general, PEI’s beaches have calm, gentle waters. Many of the province’s most popular beaches fall under the purview of the national parks system. That means they’re often in pristine condition and have good facilities but there may be parking costs or park entrance fees and dogs are not allowed.

In Nova Scotia, each beach varies much as its own character. You’re never exactly sure what you’ll find — it might have excellent washrooms and changing facilities or perhaps none at all! As Nova Scotia’s east coast is unprotected, you’ll see higher waves and winds there and it’s a popular spot for surfers.

In my experience, Nova Scotians experience a greater sense of regionalism than PE Islanders do. For instance, Cape Bretoners will make it very plain that they do not consider themselves “mainlanders.” Within the island, Cape Bretoners make a distinction about whether they are from Sydney (the largest community) or not. Those who are close to Sydney will then further share if they’re from Sydney proper or the greater area. 

There’s fierce loyalty in the nearby towns and residents won’t hesitate to tell you that Glace Bay is not the same as Sydney! And just to complicate things further, rural Cape Bretons will often further clarify which side of the island they are from. (Everyone will deny it but those from western Cape Breton are a bit snobby about the fact that they’re not from eastern Cape Breton!) When in doubt, it’s easier (and safer) to ask where someone is “in relation to the Causeway” instead of if they “are near Sydney.”

On Prince Edward Island, much of the tourist scene is concentrated in the center of the province. After all, that’s where you’ll find Charlottetown and Cavendish, home to the Green Gables-related attractions. If you head to the province’s east or west coasts, you’ll find a much quieter scene but this is where you’ll likely make your strongest connections.

Confused? Just remember this rule of thumb: When in doubt, say something disparaging about Toronto. Shaking heads at the antics of big city Canadians is a popular pastime among all Maritime residents!

7. Practical Matters

In both provinces, you’ll find reduced services on Sundays (especially in rural areas) — in Nova Scotia, it was actually the law until 2006. Things got messy when grocery stores started playing a bit fast and loose with regulations, and it was eventually simpler to just end the legislation. But in many communities, you’ll still find businesses that don’t open on Sundays or have limited hours.

While I have no conclusive proof, it’s been my experience that many businesses on PEI close during holidays and long weekends. I fully accept that I might just have a string of bad luck in this matter, so take my memories with a grain of salt. Still, I always tell friends that if you’re searching for supper on Labor Day in PEI, you might have to settle for pizza!

On a theoretical level, you can expect costs to be slightly higher on PEI due to the increased cost of transporting goods to an island. But in practical terms, I’ve never noticed any significant difference. In fact, you could easily make an argument that many pricey luxury goods are cheaper in PEI than just about anywhere else in Canada. You can stay at a gorgeous country inn, gorge yourself on oysters and lobsters, and finish the night with homemade local ice cream for a fraction of the price in most other jurisdictions. As always, shopping and eating locally delivers the best value.

9. Accommodation 

When it comes to accommodation and dining, there are some differences between the two provinces. Nova Scotia tends to have a wider range of accommodation options with many budget-friendly motels, hostels, and bed and breakfasts spread throughout the province. 

On the other hand, PEI has more high-end resorts and hotels like the Halifax Marriott Prince Edward Harbourfront Hotel and Muir, Autograph Collection . Depending on the type of location and accommodation, the costs in both provinces can vary widely, but PEI can be slightly more expensive due to the higher-end options it offers.

10. Attractions

Some of New Scotia’s must-see sites include the Cabot Trail with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, and Peggy’s Cove, a historic fishing village and lighthouse that has become one of the region’s most photographed landmarks. Other popular destinations include the historic Lunenburg and the Bay of Fundy.

Meanwhile, with charming towns like Charlottetown and Summerside,  PEI is a destination perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in Canada’s rural life. The island is famous for its red sand beaches, including the iconic Cavendish Beach, the inspiration for the classic novel “Anne of Green Gables.”

How to Get to Prince Edward Island From Mainland Nova Scotia?

There are three options: bus, drive, or the ferry. Reaching PEI by road across the Confederation Bridge is the fastest option. Unfortunately, flying directly into Prince Edward Island is still not an option, but there are airport transfers from Halifax Stanfield International Airport. 

Are There Any Hotels Along the Halifax Waterfront?

Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel and Muir, Autograph Collection are the only two hotels situated along the Halifax waterfront. Conveniently located near the historic properties, both hotels offer easy access to the shops and restaurants along the boardwalk.

Do I Need a Passport for Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia?

Yes, U.S. citizens must have a valid passport regardless of their age. You will need a passport valid for six months beyond your departure date from the U.S. We strongly suggest making photocopies of travel documents and packing them separately in your carry-on bag.

How Many Days Is Enough to Explore Prince Edward Island’s Offerings?

For a complete sightseeing tour and a very enjoyable trip 4-5 days is ideal. The island’s south shore with red sand beaches, Green Gables site, PEI National Park, Peggy’s Cove, and hikes should make your day-tour highlights list.

What Are Nova Scotia’s and Prince Edward Island’s Top Attractions?

Some of the top attractions there are Peggy’s Cove, Halifax Public Gardens, Sugar Moon Farm, Bay of Fundy, Anne of Green Gables Museum, Alexander Graham Bell Museum, Bar Harbor, and Arcadia National Park. As a bonus, you can take a guided tour of Quebec City.
