The Halifax Waterfront
Walk along the Halifax waterfront boardwalk that follows the water’s edge alongside the world’s second-largest ice-free harbour. Stretching from the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 – the gateway into Canada for over one million immigrants – to Casino Nova Scotia, you’ll pass unique shops, restaurants, tour operators, and a bustling working harbour. Hop aboard the ferry, North America’s longest-running saltwater ferry, in fact, and cross the harbour to the Dartmouth side which is filled with more locally-owned shops, galleries, cafés, restaurants, and pubs.
You will find large branded hotels, as well as several smaller independent accommodation options.
Home to many options for waterfront dining, locally inspired restaurants and craft breweries.
There are numerous land and water-based tour operators easily accessible from the Halifax Waterfront.
