One of a cluster of fishing villages lining Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy shoreline, get out onto the water whale watching or explore the coast with its lighthouses, beaches and headlands.
Whale watching in Digby & the Bay of Fundy
Digby is the ideal base from which to join a whale watching tour out into the Bay of Fundy. During the summer months, migrating humpback, fin and minke take a break in the nutrient rich water to feed, rest and bring up their young. There’s potential to see rare critically endangered North Atlantic right whales along with harbour porpoise, dolphins, seals and seabirds too.
Natural attractions in Digby
The surrounding coastline is lined with coves and inlets, perfect for beachcombing, and sheltered by craggy headlands adorned with lighthouses standing tall against the elements. Digby itself is a long-established fishing village and is renowned for its scallops and lobster. Local vineyards may just supply the perfect accompaniment.
This 10-day self-drive holiday takes you to the heart of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, visiting the incredible Bay of Fundy, renowned for having the highest tidal range on the planet. Its daily influx of nutrients from the Atlantic attracts migrating humpbacks, minke and fin whales, alongside dolphins and seabirds.
