Be spellbound by seafaring storytellers and joie-de-vivre.

Raw beauty, heart-warming joie-de-vivre, and a spirit driven by the sea encapsulate daily life in Yarmouth & Acadian Shores.

Located within the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve, this region offers scenic coastal drives, quaint fishing villages, untouched land-scapes, and stunning stargazing, becoming the first destination in North America to receive a Starlight designation from the Starlight Foundation.

Traditions, music, and food have been more than preserved here—they flourish. Pick up a phrase from our Acadian patois (dialect), check out Musique de la Baie, or admire hundreds of grand sea captains’ homes from years gone by. We love our culture, and invite you to celebrate with us.

Les fruits de mer (seafood) have long shaped our region’s cuisine. Want to dig a little deeper? Go clamming in Baie Sainte-Marie, or tour the lobster pound and stay for dinner at Stanley Lobster Co. in Yarmouth. Indulge in lobster poutine at Dennis Point Café, or learn real-life fishing skills from our seafarers at “Living Wharves.” There’s always something fresh on your journey!

Your New Favourite SongsMusic is a cornerstone of our local culture. In fact, Acadians have their own special word for this—a good party with lots of music is referred to as a “tyme”. Look for the Musique de la Baie (Music by the Sea) logo throughout the area and discover the lively music and folklore of this region. Performances are nightly from July 1 to September 30; the schedule repeats weekly. For performance dates and times, visit yasmusicbythesea.com.
