In the heart of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia is the town of Bridgewater. An industrial town, split in two by the LaHave River near the town of Lunenburg and the town of Mahone Bay. Car hire in Lunenburg will mean you can visit both sides of the town with ease.
Hiring a car in Lunenburg gives you the chance to explore Nova Scotia and see everything it has to offer, and more immediately you will get to visit both Lunenburg the town and Mahone Bay, both port towns with strong cultural histories. Bridgewater is perhaps best known for its South Shore Exhibition, a week long agricultural fair which is held in July every year.
Visitors to Bridgewater are afforded the opportunity to visit outlying towns in the area. Renting a car in Bridgewater allows you to visit Lunenburg, a town on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. There are a number of great restaurants, bars and hotels in Lunenburg thanks to its tourist trade, and the hit television show Haven was filmed in the town. One of the best places to visit in Lunenburg is the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, which has not only a great collection in the museum, but a fantastic restaurant attached to it, making renting a car in Bridgewater and visiting essential.
Travelling across the South Shore will bring you to Mahone Bay, a town nestled in the bay of the same name. The main industry of Mahone Bay was wooden boat building, a practice that still occurs today and the tourist trade revolves around this old skill.
There are plenty of shops to visit, as well as some stunning views of the bay which are recognisable as iconic images of Nova Scotia.
