Life In amherst, Nova Scotia

Amherst is the second largest town in Nova Scotia, nestled in among the beautiful forests, trails, rivers, sandy warm Northumberland beaches and the wild Fundy coast of Cumberland County. This family-friendly, vibrant town is small enough to feel like home but is located within 40 minutes of several universities and the city of Moncton. You can live in town or county and enjoy the comfort and convenience of both… without spending much time in your car!

Amherst & Area Activity Guide

Make Amherst your home base for all of your Nova Scotia activities,  festivals, and events. Here are some ideas to get you started:


  1. Find the work of hundreds of artisans at Dayle’s Grand Market in  downtown Amherst and at the Amherst Artisan Gallery at the Amherst  Centre Mall.
  2. Try a mother-daughter rug hooking class at Deanne Fitzpatrick Studio.
  3. Pick up some specialty fabric at Mrs. Pugsley’s Emporium.
  4. Stroll past gorgeous sandstone buildings and enjoy live music in a downtown restaurant.
  5. Kick up your heels at the Wednesday night Bordertown Jam.
  6. Enjoy open mic at the Legion’s Sunday Hootenanny.
  7. Hear local ghost stories on community radio station CFTA 107.9 every Thursday evening.
  8. Walk, run, cycle, snowshoe or ski along Amherst’s picturesque 1.25  km (0.78 mi) marshside trail between Motor Avenue and Derby Street. The  sunsets here are amazing!
  9. Drive west on Victoria Street (Hwy 6) and less than 10 minutes from  town, you’ll find Amherst Point Bird Sanctuary, where more than 200  species of birds have been observed in 1,000 acres of forest and trails!
  10. Visit the Tidnish Bridge Art Gallery and then take a short hike to the cool suspension bridge over the Tidnish River. (22 km)
  11. Tour the depths of a real coal mine at the Springhill Miners Museum. (34 km)
  12. Hunt for 300-million-year old fossils by the dramatic seashore at Joggins Fossil Cliffs UNESCO World Heritage Site. (35 km)
  13. Take the Sunrise Trail north to Amherst Shore Provincial Park, where  a short hike through the coastal forest leads you to a sandy red beach  with some of the warmest saltwater swimming in Canada. (37 km)
  14. Want to catch a really big fish? Haul in a keeper along the Bay of  Fundy or the Northumberland Strait, where you might catch a Striped Bass  that weighs 30-40 lbs! You don’t need a licence to sportfish in tidal  or salt water in Nova Scotia. Get your gear at Maltby Sports or The  Bicycle Specialist.
  15. In the fall, get a salmon fishing licence and head to the Maccan  River for spectacular catch-and-release Atlantic salmon. (22 km)
  16. Less than an hour away, Ship’s Company Theatre in Parrsboro offers  live theatre shows every evening except Mondays, when there are live  music performances. (58 km)
