Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
The Town of Yarmouth is the regional center of South Western Nova Scotia. The Town, with a population base of approximately 7,200 people, serves the financial business and community needs of some 70,000 people who live in the tri-counties of Yarmouth, Digby, and Shelburne.
With regular ferry crossings to Bar Harbor and Portland, Maine, on North America’s largest catamaran, “The Cat”, and two 100 series highways, the Town is known as the International Gateway to the Province.
The local economy is supported by a broad range of business, service, and industrial employers of long standing. The Town also houses regional health, educational, and provincial government facilities, including the Yarmouth Regional Hospital, which employs in excess of 800 full and part time employees.
As the largest convention center west of Halifax, the Town annually hosts major events such as fisheries, exhibitions, lifestyle home shows, as well as the annual agricultural fair.
Yarmouth is only 2 hours south of White Point Beach and White point Manor.
Digby is the bustling seaside centre of Digby County. “There’s so much to do here!” should be the caption to every picture, every story, about this area. It is a transportation hub of its own, with an airfield, a ferry from New Brunswick, access to other areas and services through Kathleen’s Shuttle (and whose company provides fascinating and fun tours in the summer), everything from big box stores to boutiques, and activities in numbers you wouldn’t believe. Everything from whale watching to frisbee golf, to Japanese art galleries, to a lively “Take the Bay of Fundy Challenge!”, to musical events and festivals.
Do come here. You won’t be disappointed!

Rumrunner Suite at White Point Vacation Home is a Smuggler’s Delight!
White Point Vacation Home is gearing up for the 2011 holiday season with the inauguration of the Rumrunner Suite, a single bedroom apartment built on a smuggler’s theme. This is because the home was built by a real, live liquor smuggler who operated out of Hunt’s Point wharf during the Prohibition era in the United States.
