How much do you know about the Digby Gut?

The Digby Gut is a narrow and dramatic channel that connects the expansive Bay of Fundy to the picturesque Annapolis Basin. It is also one of the most historic waterways in Canada. An ancient Mi’kmaw route to the Bay of Fundy, and Samuel de Champlain’s passageway to Port Royal, one of the first European settlements in North America. It’s also one of the first things you see in the Digby region if travelling west on the highway, or while coming in on the Fundy Rose from New Brunswick.

For centuries, it served as a major shipping route connecting the Annapolis Basin to the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine. It is also home to many shipwrecks due to the violent waters surrounding it.

The Digby Gut's strong tidal currents can reach speeds of up to 5 knots (9.3 km/h). These currents, combined with the narrow passage, make navigation through the Gut challenging.

Luckily it is not something you need to do to enjoy its beauty. Some of the best places to see the gut from the ground is at Point Prim, the Smiths Cove Lighthouse and various other places in downtown Digby.

It's homemade comfort food in a cafe setting.

They post their specials daily on social media, and you can find them in downtown Digby at 87 Water Street

It was a fantastic time Saturday for Digby's 135 Community Picnic.

A big thank you to everyone who participated in our Paint Like Maud activity, and a specially thanks to CREAtiff productions for helping us do our best at creating a Maud Lewis like painting.

The Town of Digby put on a wonderful event with great local music, a beautiful ceremony and lots of food and water thanks to the Digby Town Council.

Cheers to 135 years Digby, and here's to 135 more!

And we're off 🐳

Whale watching has official begun for the year!

Not all of the whale watching companies are open yet, but those that are, are seeing lots of action!

Here are just some of the photos taken by Brier Island Whale and Seabird Cruises this past week.

People often ask when the best time to see whales are, and that's a hard question to answer. Most tours go from now until the end of September. They operate these months because that's when the whales are most active here.

Some say August is the best, yet last year at the beginning of July we had two Blue Whale sightings.

Your best bet is to stay in the area (Long & Brier Island) for a few days, and go out as much as you can. No two trips are the same, and you are almost always guaranteed to see some action.

Plus, there are plenty of spots around the islands that have some of Nova Scotia's best coastal views. You could easily spend a week out here.
