Sea Kayaking in Nova Scotia (3rd Edition): A Guide to Paddling Routes Along the Coast

By Scott Cunningham

Book Overview

Nova Scotia has some of the most spectacular coastline on the continent. The sea kayak is ideal for exploring those isolated nooks and crannies, where few other vessels dare to venture. Each route includes departure points, trip lengths, and necessary charts and maps; of special note are the safety considerations and the detailed points of interest. With 48 routes spanning Nova Scotia from Briar Island to the Cape Breton Highlands, from Halifax to Pictou, and everywhere in between, this guide includes useful information for what gear to pack, safety concerns, and techniques to make your kayaking expedition as enjoyable as possible.

The new 3rd edition of Sea Kayaking in Nova Scotia includes new routes, new preface, updated maps and text, 3 eight-page colour inserts with photos, and many of the existing photos have been updated or replaced.

Can't wait to go!

Being a fan of sea kayaking off the coast of Maine, and having vacationed in Nova Scotia last summer and loving it, this book was a natural. There are 42 routes described, broken up into 5 sections of the province. I was particularly interested in the South Shore, from Halifax down to Yarmouth, not one of the most glamerous portions of Nova Scotia. The guides spell out the distance, put in and take out points, weather and sea conditions which you need to be cautious of, and some of the high spots of each route. As the Island is subject to some very extreem weather and sea conditions, it is strong on cautions. It also provides map and book references. It gave me everything that I would need to be able to plan a trip there. Now, to find the time.
