Travel to Lunenburg: A Nova Scotia Photo Essay

14/11/2013

 

Travel to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and discover a mighty Maritime spirit!

Lunenburg Nova Scotia www.turnipseedtravel.com
Lunenburg is famous for being a port town.
Charming Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, was designated a  UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. This designation protects the town's rare architecture and civic design, which is one of the best example of  a planned British colonial settlement in Canada. The renowned racing schooner, The Bluenose (and it's successors) was built in the Lunenburg ship building docks.

Together with it's equally charming neighbour, Mahone's Bay, Lunenburg is a beautiful day trip from Halifax or the perfect place for a weekend escape.  We try to visit Lunenburg every time we visit Nova Scotia and, as you can tell, indulge in many opportunities to practice our photography skills!

I absolutely love your photos!! I used to live in Nova Scotia when I was a kid, and every time I go back my mom and I spend some time in Lunenburg. We love it! Had the best oysters of my life over in Mahone Bay too.

I love charming, seaside towns like Lunenberg. They're so picturesque and your beautiful photos certainly showed it's worth a visit. I've read about Mahone Bay but not this one. The lobster crossing sign is classic.
