Where in the world is Nova Scotia anyway?

Not too far. Not too close. Well within a few hours' plane trip of Western Europe, the United States and the rest of Canada, Nova Scotia's location is ideal for easy access by seasonal residents and visitors. For new permanent residents it offers convenience for business travel or visiting friends and relatives back home.

Located on the far Eastern shore of mainland North America, on a peninsula almost completely surrounded by water, we are sufficiently isolated to ensure you maintain the quiet, peaceful lifestyle you are looking for.

Nova Scotia is accessible by air, with an international airport located near Halifax, by vehicle via the Trans Canada Highway, or by car-ferry from Maine.

For detail buffs, Nova Scotia's coordinates are latitude 43 - 48° N and longitude 59 - 67°W. We are in a time zone almost of our own (Atlantic), putting us one hour ahead of New York and Toronto, four ahead of Vancouver, four behind London and five behind most of the rest of Europe.
