Ten unforgettable experiences.
One place to find them.

Just minutes from Digby, you’ll find a place where the pace slows down and the stars shine a little brighter.

At @theridgecampgrounddigby it’s all open space, fresh air, and that feeling of being surrounded by nature.

Camp under the trees, settle into a cozy cabin, or bring the RV and stay awhile. Days are for exploring the coast, nearby trails, and everything Digby has to offer. Evenings are for campfires, quiet moments, and looking up at a sky full of stars.

Simple, easy, and exactly what you need.

There’s something about a long weekend, isn’t there?

Time with the people you love.
Meals that linger a little longer.
Moments you wish you could carry with you.

And even after it’s over…
that feeling stays.

If you’re already thinking about the next one, maybe it’s time to plan it.

Let it unfold in Digby.

Arrive Friday.
Walk the waterfront, visit the museum, and ease into the evening with a drink on a patio, maybe a little live music drifting through the air.

Saturday, follow the road to Bear River.
A warm latte in hand, a slow wander through galleries and shops, lunch at Myrtle & Rosie’s, and a quiet moment at a local winery.

Sunday, take the drive down Digby Neck to Brier Island.
Step onto the water for a whale watching tour, then spend the night.
Watch the sun set at the lighthouse, where the sky opens wide and time seems to slow.

Monday, take the long way home.
Hike to Balancing Rock, stop at the Maud Lewis Replica House, and let the coastline guide you a little farther.

Next long weekend… follow that feeling.

In Digby County, you don’t have to look for the perfect shot.

It finds you.

As the new Tourism Development Manager for Digby, I put together my version of a “perfect day” here… and quickly realized I ran out of time before I ran out of ideas.

That’s a pretty great problem to have.

Excited to keep exploring, connecting with local businesses, and helping share everything this area has to offer.

Be honest…

How many times this week have you caught yourself thinking:
“I just need to get away.”

Not somewhere busy.
Not somewhere complicated.

Somewhere you can sit by the ocean,
watch the tide roll in,
eat something incredible,
and actually feel your shoulders drop.

That place exists.

It’s Digby County.

Now the only question is —
when are you coming? 👇

You deserve to slow down and take some time for yourself #digbyns #visitdigby #brierisland #bearriver #balancingrock

Did you know the Digby area is one of the best places in Canada for birdwatching? 🐦

Along the shores of the Bay of Fundy, you might spot seabirds gliding low over the water, songbirds tucked into the trees, hawks riding the wind — and even the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead. 🦅

Take a trip down Digby Neck to Brier Island, where the landscape opens wide and the sky seems full of motion. Set along a major migration route, it’s a place where thousands of birds pass through each spring and fall — sometimes all at once.

Bring your binoculars… or just your curiosity. You never know what you’ll see next. 🌿🐦

There’s something special about Digby.

Maybe it’s the way the light dances across the Bay of Fundy.
Or the quiet rhythm of the tide moving in and out of the harbour.
Maybe it’s the taste of fresh Digby scallops, pulled from the sea and served just hours later.

It might be the adventure — whales breaching off Brier Island, scenic drives along Digby Neck, or discovering the charm of Bear River, where colourful galleries and restaurants perch on stilts above the river.

Or maybe it’s simply the feeling you get when you arrive.

A little calmer.
A little happier.
A little closer to the sea.

Come see for yourself.

Locals and visitors… we need your help.

If someone was coming to Digby for the first time, what’s the one thing you’d tell them they can’t miss?

A view?
A meal?
A place to stay?
An adventure?
A hidden gem?

There’s a magic in Digby you can’t quite explain — until you’re here. 💙

Where the boardwalk smells of salt and fresh coffee, rivers twist through fields that remember the tides, and the seafood tastes like the ocean itself whispered the recipe.

Come see. Walk. Taste. Listen. And maybe, just maybe, find the part of yourself that only the sea can remind you of. 🌊✨

🎉⚓ Happy 136th Birthday, Digby! ⚓🎉

While ships carrying United Empire Loyalists first arrived on these shores in 1783, Digby was officially established as a town in 1890 and named for Admiral Robert Digby. But Digby’s story stretches far beyond those sails on the horizon.

Long before it became a harbour town, these waters were known to the Mi’kmaq, who understood the rhythm of the Bay of Fundy, the pull of its tides, and the quiet strength of this coastline. The sea was already speaking here.

Over the years, wharves were built. Boats were launched. Families made their living from the water. Digby grew into a fishing town, a shipbuilding port, a place known far beyond Nova Scotia for its scallops and its salt-air resilience.

And still, the tides rise and fall the way they always have. Stand on the waterfront at sunset, and you can almost feel it — the layers of time. The first footsteps on the shore. The creak of wooden hulls. The laughter from decks and docks.

Digby isn’t just a place on a map. It’s a story still being written — by the sea, by its people, and by every visitor who comes to watch the boats, taste the harvest, and breathe in that unmistakable ocean air.

Here’s to Digby! Shaped by history, carried by the tide, and always ready to welcome you. 💙

Chase Pink Skies. 🌊 💖

There’s something magical about Nova Scotia’s skies at sunrise and sunset especially when they light up with shades of pink, purple, and gold.

Imagine drifting through tranquil waters, surrounded by the glow of a pastel sky, while the sound of the waves lulls you into serenity. This is the beauty of boating in Nova Scotia, where every sunrise and sunset feels like a private show just for you.

Want to feel like you’re on the edge of the world?

Come to Brier Island, the westernmost point of Nova Scotia, where whales rise from the ocean like shimmering giants and seabirds wheel above the Coastal Trail. Spend your days exploring, or simply letting the wind and tides set your pace.

Stay at the @brierisland Lodge, savour fresh, local flavours in the restaurant, or wander down to @chetwickspub for a pint and a story.

Stay long enough, and the island whispers its secrets.

And when the sun sinks behind the horizon, it doesn’t just set… it dazzles.

High tide.
Low tide.
Same quiet magic.

In Bear River, the water rises to meet a village on stilts,
wine waits just up the road,
art fills the galleries,
and coffee is always close by.

Come when the tide is changing.
Stay because something in you changes too.
