Lunenburg Waterfront

Lunenburg is one of only two urban communities in North America designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Seventy percent of the original colonial buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries continue to greet visitors with their colourful façades. Wander Lunenburg’s distinctive waterfront and listen for salty tales of seafaring and rum-running and discover a charming town filled with amazing restaurants, distilleries, breweries, artisans and unique shops. The town is also the home port of Nova Scotia’s sailing ambassador, Bluenose II.

Welcome to Lunenburg’s Historic Waterfront

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to tall ships, schooners, dories, fishing vessels and floating docks. Nova Scotia’s seafaring history and boatbuilding traditions come to life on the Lunenburg waterfront. Tie up your vessel and try out the Lunenburg Waterfront Walk app or head directly to the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic.

Daytime berths along the waterfront are free of charge with your registered berthing pass.
