The Detour
Oak Island

Ok. This was our main reason for going to Nova Scotia, but it will likely be a great detour for others. This island has an amazing history of treasure hunting. I highly recommend watching episodes of The Curse of Oak Island before going if you haven’t. If you recognize Jack Begley from the show, you might be a superfan! We were obviously excited! Both were incredibly nice.

The Detour
Glencoe Mountain Resort

WHERE:

Half-hour or so just outside of the town of Glencoe.

WHAT:

While driving in Glencoe (which is amazing), don't miss a detour here. Watch the mountain bikers came zooming down the mountain or take a ride up the chairlift to see some unreal views.  The waterfalls coming down are gorgeous.

WHY I FOUND IT:

Honestly, we were just ready to be out of the car for a bit.  It ended up being one of our favorite memories.  

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?
Absolutely.
