The town of Digby is central to many activities, including many historic sites such as Port Royal (1604) and Fort Anne (1629), some of the best whale watching in North America, National and Provincial parks, long sandy beaches, hiking and bicycling trails, sailing and kayaking, and a Sir Stanley Thompson masterpiece, the Digby Pines Golf course. Known as the scallop capital of the world, and nominated Canada s most romantic spot by Canadian Living magazine, Digby offers spectacular vistas of the Annapolis Basin, mild weather, clear crisp air and, of course, the incredible Bay of Fundy tides (28 to 35 ft).
