If you only have time for one outing around here, it should certainly be a whale-watching tour from Digby (15 minutes’ drive). Boats from here go out into the Bay of Fundy, home to humpback, minke and finback whales. If you’d like to head out under your own steam in search of other wildlife, you can hire kayaks instead in Digby. Back on dry land, there are some great walks in both the Acacia Valley (15 minutes) and the Delaps Cove area (35 minutes), which has waterfalls to see on your way to Meier Point. Shorter strolls might take you around Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens or Fort Anne National Historic Site (both 20 minutes), or you could take a waterside wander at Victoria Beach (40 minutes). If you’d like to come back to a glass of local wine after your day out, stop by for a tour and tasting at one of the local wineries, where you can also buy bottles to take away. Both Bear River Vineyards (two minutes) and Casa Nova Fine Beverages (five minutes) are worth a stop.
