HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Located in eastern Canada and almost completely surrounded by the ocean, Nova Scotia is home to over 150 lighthouses, breathtaking National and Provincial Parks, and an abundance of fisheries that provide world class seafood. Now that the U.S./Canada borders are open to travel, visitors can find new accommodations and a bustling culinary scene, as well as year-round outdoor adventure in the fishing villages and parks that line the coast, from the South Shore to Cape Breton Island and beyond.

Scheduled to open in late 2022, the Ingonish Tree Walk at Cape Smokey Provincial Park, located along the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, will soar 30 meters above the ground as North America's first and only tree walk. Travelers will find breathtaking views of the Cape Breton Highlands and Atlantic Ocean from the eight-person Cape Smokey Gondola, which opened in September 2021 and lifts visitors 320 meters to the top in four minutes. More upcoming developments for Cape Smokey include a brewery, restaurant, and accommodations.

In October 2021, a 14,000-square-foot Viewing Deck opened at the iconic Peggy's Cove for safe viewing of its world-famous lighthouse. The viewing deck is set into the rock to not overshadow the landscape while the rail guard is constructed with a steel knit pattern to resemble fish net. The fishing village of Peggy's Cove on the South Shore of Nova Scotia is known for its picturesque houses, wave-washed boulders, and active fishing community, while its lighthouse is one of the most photographed in the province.

Guests can visit Authentic Seacoast's state-of-the-art distillery and brewery next door, rent bicycles or kayaks, or unwind in the seaside sauna.
