Lunenburg is a delightful fishing village of about 2,500, designated a Unesco world heritage site, & home port of the famous Bluenose. Many interesting sites & walks, such as the remarkable architecture of restored homes, the fascinating Fisherman's museum, sailing excursions, whale watch tours & horse drawn carriage tours, deep sea fishing, local festivals, as well as excellent restaurants & an interesting variety of shops. Just down the street is the world class Fisheries museum with excellent interactive activities for children as well as 2 restored fishing vessels, a sailing schooner & a trawler. Lunenburg is still an active fishing community & guests are fascinated by the coming & going of the ocean trawlers. When in port, the Bluenose is visible from the deck & the yard, as are the many other toll masted schooners that come to visit. There are municipal tennis courts, playgrounds & a swimming pool. Fabulous South Shore beaches & towns are at your finger-tips, Halifax is 1 hour
