2. McNabs Island

   • Halifax, Canada
   • Sights › Nature reserve

   Fine sand and cobblestone shorelines, salt marshes, abandoned military fortifications and forests paint the scenery of this 400-hectare island in Halifax harbor. Staff of the McNabs Island Ferry will provide you with a map and an orientation to 30km of roads and trails on the island. For camping reservations contact the Department of Natural Resources. The ferry runs from Fisherman's Cove in Eastern Passage, a short drive through Dartmouth. When the ferry staff are not too busy, they'll pick you up in Halifax for the same fare.
