Nova Scotia coastal paradise
COASTAL LUXURY AT ITS FINEST
Oceanstone Resort is located along the gorgeous windswept South Shore coastal region of Nova Scotia. Famous for its rugged cliffs and rocky beaches, the area offers endless opportunity for beach combing, sunset walks, coastal hikes, and simply gazing out at the power and beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. With world-famous Peggy’s Cove just five minutes up the road, you’ll be blessed with the opportunity to explore the lighthouse, local artisan shops, the Peggy’s Cove Preservation area hiking trails, and more—with ample time to return to your cabin or suite for an afternoon nap!

The resort itself is a peaceful oasis, a tranquil island of calm with its own beach access and gorgeous viewpoints. If you’re hoping to explore a little further, the vibrant city of Halifax is less than an hour away, and Oceanstone is very close to the historic town of Lunenburg, a UNESCO heritage site, as well as the artsy haven of Mahone Bay.
