Dear Canada,
It’s your friends in Digby, Nova Scotia!
More and more, travel is becoming about intention; choosing places that feel meaningful, welcoming, and
truly Canadian. About discovering destinations that surprise you, slow you down, and remind you how much
beauty exists within our own borders.
Digby should be at the top of your list.
Here, the land and sea do the storytelling. The Bay of Fundy’s tides shape our coastline. Whales return each
season. Fishing boats still head out with the morning light. Artists, winemakers, guides, and small business
owners create experiences that are rooted, personal, and full of heart. When you visit Digby, your time and
your dollars support real communities and the people who live here year-round.
Experience days that are as full—or as quiet—as you like. Savour fresh scallops landed in our own bay, hike
along coastal trails, or head out for a bit of sea kayaking. Walk in the footsteps of past generations through
our historic villages, explore galleries inspired by Maud Lewis, or play a round of golf with sweeping ocean
views. Visit local wineries and taste our history in a glass, then seek out lighthouses that feel as though they
belong to another era.
It’s a place where adventure doesn’t compete for attention, and hospitality is genuine—never packaged.
If you’re planning a trip and wondering where to go next, come to Digby. Not as an alternative — but as a
destination in its own right. A place that offers depth, character, and experiences you won’t find just
anywhere.
Play in your own backyard. Come explore a corner of Canada that feels both refreshing and familiar.
We’ll be here, ready to welcome you.
With warmth and pride,
Digby Area Tourism Association

There’s nothing quite like seafood in Digby 🦪🌊
If you’ve been thinking about booking a trip, let this be your sign. Digby is proudly known as the Scallop Capital of the World, and for good reason—our scallops are landed fresh right here in the Bay of Fundy and served at their absolute best.
But the seafood doesn’t stop there. Depending on the season, you’ll also find locally caught lobster, haddock, clams, mussels, and other Bay of Fundy favourites—often on the menu just hours after coming off the boat.
Fresh, local, and beautifully prepared, seafood is at the heart of the Digby experience. Come hungry, book that trip, and taste why this coast is so special.

🎳 Ever tried candlepin bowling?

It’s classic East Coast fun—quirky, competitive, and perfect for a rainy day or a night of friendly rivalry. And if it feels familiar in a “didn’t I see this on TV once?” kind of way… you’re not wrong 😉
Old-school fun, local flavour, and a true Maritime tradition—Digby does it right. Wilson’s Bowling Centre. 312 Warwick St.

On Friday, December 12th, 2025, Digby lit its inaugural Lobster Crate Tree, an effort organized largely by the folks behind Lobster Bash.
A large crowd came out to enjoy the Pincher Parade, followed by the tree lighting and a fireworks display! Many attendees also purchased and customized buoys to hang on the tree in memory of those no longer with us.
It was a great night all around. We hope you can join us next year!

👑 You’ve heard us say we are the "Scallop Capital of the World." But why?
Well, it may be more than you think.
🌊 It`s a science.
Just as wine has terroir (the taste of the land), scallops have merroir, the taste of the sea. Digby scallops are chemically and physically superior because of one massive advantage: The Bay of Fundy.
The world`s highest tides constantly churn up deep, cold water, acting as a massive conveyor belt that delivers nutrient-dense plankton directly to the scallop beds.
This endless "all-you-can-eat buffet," combined with the icy water temperatures, produces a scallop that is physically larger, sweeter, and has a distinct, firm texture that you can`t find in warmer waters
Or in other words, they are really good eats!
⚓ The Digby Drag
We didn`t just start it, we built it. In the 1920s, the first commercial beds were discovered, but it was Captain Roland Wormell’s invention of the "Digby Drag" in 1927 that changed history.
Unlike massive offshore trawlers that scrape everything, the Digby Drag consists of a gang of smaller, chain-linked steel baskets. This flexible design allows the gear to contour over the rocky, uneven ocean bottom of the Bay of Fundy, scooping up scallops while minimizing damage to the seabed compared to rigid dredges.
Today, these drags use specific ring sizes that allow juvenile scallops to escape and grow for another year, ensuring the fishery remains sustainable for generations.
`Cause why would we ruin a good thing?
🌟 The center of attention.
The Digby fleet is one of the largest inshore scallop fleets on the planet, contributing over $30 million annually to the local economy. It`s what you see proudly on display in downtown Digby.
A view just as gorgeous as the meals they provide.
What`s a Lighthouse worth to you?
In maybe the most maritime story ever, this is how Digby lost, and got back it`s iconic lighthouse on Admirals Walk.
Constructed in 1903 by John Roney of Granville Ferry, this lighthouse originally stood at the end of the government pier. It was a critical guide for the steamers and fishing boats navigating the difficult currents of the Annapolis Basin.
In the 1970s, when the old pier was deemed unsafe, the lighthouse was saved from demolition but moved across the bay to Saint John, New Brunswick. It spent decades there, serving as a ticket kiosk and a tourist attraction for their city.
In 2012, we decided it was time it came home.
Our mayor at the time, Ben Cleveland, and about 30 others boarded the ferry to Saint John with the most valuable thing in Digby to get it back. 230 lbs of of world famous Digby scallops. That was the cost to bring it home.
From 2012 - 2016 it underwent repairs, and then on June 21st, 2016, cranes brought it down to where it sits now.
The official opening of it took place on July 23rd, 2016.
Meaning we are less than 8 months away from it being the 10th anniversary of it coming home.
Perhaps we should celebrate with some scallops?!
A short hike through wild trails brought us to a spot that feels almost unreal — Balancing Rock. 🪨✨
There’s something about these hidden gems that makes every detour, and every step worth it. 🌿🥾

🐾 Did You Know?
In 🇨🇦Canada, there are no official accreditations or licensing requirements for pet trainers. That means anyone can call themselves a “trainer” — no education, certification, or regulation is required.
Yes this means in theory, your horses uncle can be a “dog trainer” 🐴🤣🤣😭
🐾Your pets deserve care guided by real education, experience, and professional standards. ⭐️This is why even with my years of experience and education I am working towards my IAACB certification to be an accredited trainer and then get my behaviourist certification 💪
✅choosing IAABC offers you a globally-recognised credential grounded in experience and applied knowledge, a professional community and ethics-framework
⛔️People make up their own “dog trainer schools” and sell this to unsuspecting victims. If your trainer has an unknown certification, dive deeper and do research. We are not looking for individual opinions, we are looking for a regulated and certified professional. Otherwise it is best to go to a veterinary behaviourist only for any modification.
Please note: if the practitioner says they are Fear free certified, ask for a link to their listing on the public website.
Don’t blindly trust — ask for credentials!
✅my Behaviour consults are free!

Fresh Digby scallops, breathtaking ocean views, cozy stays, and vibrant fall colours — our getaway to Digby, Nova Scotia had it all. Nathan, my parents, and I set off for a few days away, and this small town gave us memories we’ll hold onto for a long time.
Our first night was at the Fundy Complex in their Dockside Suites, a beautifully updated hotel right on the harbour, overlooking Digby’s scallop fishing fleet. Dinner at Sydney Street Pub & Café [sydney_street_pub] served up our first taste of the famous Digby scallops and features live
music every Friday and Saturday night.
The next morning started with breakfast overlooking the water at Fundy Restaurant, where Nathan’s scallop omelette was packed with flavour. From there we explored Quilts by the Bay [quiltsbythebay], a world-renowned quilting shop, and discovered local art at Off the Wall Gallery.
A visit to the Maud Lewis Memorial Park gave us the chance to see the steel replica of her beloved, historic house, now a permanent display at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax.
Lunch at The Wheelhouse Seafood & Pasta was another decadent scallop feast on their waterfront patio, before we checked into Digby Pines Resort [digbypines] for night two. Staying in a two- bedroom cottage with water views, and dining at Churchill’s Restaurant, made for the perfect, peaceful evening.
The next morning, we took the ferry down Digby Neck to Long Island and hiked the Balancing Rock Trail. With fall colours at their peak, the views were incredible. Before heading home, we visited Point Prim Lighthouse for one last unforgettable moment by the sea.
digbynovascotia is full of charm, flavour, and natural beauty. Just two hours from Halifax or an easy Bay Ferries ride from Saint John, it’s the perfect Nova Scotia fall escape. Visit the link in my bio for more info on the Digby & Islands area.
