About Shelburne...  The small, historic harbour side town was the site in 1783 of the Empire Loyalist landing in Canada and boasts one of the most impressive collections of built wooden heritage in North America. We lie beside one of the best harbours in the world, and are home also to a new marina, yacht club and performing arts centre.
      Additionally, there are four museums in the Historic District and several cafes and restaurants, plus sports and gift shops in town. One of Nova Scotia's finest golf courses is minutes away, as are pristine beaches, cool lakes and flowing rivers. Quaint fishing villages abound on the South Shore, as do a myriad of professional and community entertainments.
