Eastern Shore Region<br />
The Eastern Shore is a special destination spot for nature enthusiasts who enjoy the region’s<br />
many parks and beaches including Lawrencetown and Martinique Beach with their pounding<br />
surf. Try your luck angling in the Liscombe River or take to the trails in Taylor Head Provincial<br />
Park or kayak through salt-marshes that teem with wildlife.<br />
This region is also steeped in history. Discover glimpses of the past when you visit a restored<br />
18th-century fishing village at Fisherman’s Cove or a 19th century lumbering and ship-building<br />
town at Sherbrooke Village.<br />
