Whether you want to set your GPS to the shortest route to major stores or you’re content to meander along country roads and take a stroll through whatever shopping opportunities might arise along the way, you’re going to find great retail experiences from one end of our coastline to the other. In our towns like Amherst, New Glasgow, Truro and Pictou – you can expect to find big name brands and major department stores as well as boutiques carrying out of the ordinary treasures from clothes to food to jewellery. On the historic streets of Windsor, Tatamagouche, Musqudoboit, Canso and Antigonish, for instance, you’ll find one-of-a kind shops that reflect the character of our communities and carry a strong representation of our local artisans.
Sometimes though, that amazing find just finds you. Not far off the beaten path, there are dozens of artisans, artists, and craftspeople who are happy to share their passion and show you their wares. Our farm markets often carry the handcrafts of local artisans. Our museums shops offer exceptional souvenirs like jewellery created from gems found along the Joggins shoreline or ironworks fashioned in the blacksmith shop at Sherbrooke Village. Whether it’s a scarf woven in your family’s tartan from the kilt maker’s shop or a bottle of wine from the vineyard you visited, you’re going to find lots of great ways to take a piece of Three Shores home with you.
