As unspoiled and authentic as our seacoast is, our shopping opportunities run much along the same lines. You’ll find heritage crafts created by old school artisans in for sale in unique shops like Tin Roof Mercantile and Cafe with a wide range of sweaters, hooked rugs, quilts and even handcrafted rustic furniture. Exploring the offerings of Fisherman’s Cove, a classic Nova Scotian fishing village that has been sending its fleet to sea for 200 years, you might be surprised to come across artworks and jewellery imported from Africa alongside a general store selling traditional wares of Atlantic Canada. It’s a juxtaposition that reflects both the nature of Nova Scotia’s position as hub for international trade and the centuries’ old history of African-Canadians along the Eastern Shore.
As you wander along Eastern Shore exploring our history and our nature, look for great shopping where you might not expect it – like in our museums from The Company Store in Sherbrooke Village with a product line that includes pottery, woodworking, and weaving, and in Hosking’s General Store in Lake Charlotte’s Memory Lane Village where the inventory includes local arts & crafts, antiques and collectibles.
