Planning Your Nova Scotia Motorcycle Trip
Nova Scotia has some of the best planning sites in all of tourism, anywhere. The planners make it easy to put together a custom-made motorcycle trip of a lifetime.
It all starts out with the “Doers’ and Dreamers’” guide, a 384 book filled with pictures, descriptions and maps that divides the province in to seven sections:
- Fundy Shore and Annapolis Valley
Northumberland Shore
Cape Breton Island
Eastern Shore
South Shore
Yarmouth and Acadian Shore
Halifax
These even tourism regions highlight the diverse landscapes, roads and seaside vistas of Nova Scotia. In all, there are more than 7,600 km (4,750 mi) of coastline that encompasses the mountainous Cape Breton Highlands, the wide open landscape of the Annapolis Valley to the Bay of Fundy shores, the rugged “moonscape” of the Peggy’s Cove area and the coves and points of South Shore. There has never been a better test of motorcycling than the great roads that follow thsi incredible seascape.
The other great thing about Nova Scotia is that you can get off the highway anywhere and take a road that leads to the ocean in less than 30 minutes. And if you get tired of weaving around the bays and inlets a highway is always the same distance the other way.
It is also easy for New England riders to get here on the high-speed Cat Ferry or up and around on the New Brunswick highways. For Quebec and Ontario riders its it just over sixteen hours in the seat. In addition you can join a group tour with others in a customized tour package.
Here are some ideas:
*The 300 km (187 mi) Cabot Trail, especially in autumn when the trees are in full color.
* Whales Watching along the Digby Neck area of the Annapolis Valley
* The Eastern Shore up from Halifax to Cape Breton

I’m planning, in the next year or two to begin a couple of motorcycle tours in various parts of the world. I’m glad you posted this Kim, I’ll put it in my digital notebook for future reference!
Great introduction to Motorcycling in Nova Scotia.
I would also recommend people get a copy of the Nova Scotia Mororcycle Tour Guide. It is a great resource for trip planning. You can get a copy at:
Nova Scotia Motorcycle Tour Guide
And if your travels should take you up the Eastern Shore (Frommers highly recommends route 16), spend a night at Osprey Shores Golf Resort which offers motorcycle friendly lodging.

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.
