Sunrise Trail: Overview
Warm saltwater beaches and quaint Scottish communities are the order of the day when touring the Sunrise Trail.
The Sunrise Trail follows the Nova Scotia coastline from the New Brunswick border to the Canso Causeway - which connects mainland Nova Scotia to Cape Breton Island. The waters along this coast are the warmest north of the Carolinas. This warmth is matched by the people in the various communities along the route - from Amherst to Pugwash to Pictou, New Glasgow, Antigonish, and beyond. Scottish culture permeates the entire trail and is evident in the boundless festivals, games, food and music. There are country fairs, highland games, fine restaurants, colourful shops and art galleries, as well as museums, summer theatre, and a fine arts centre awaiting your group.
