The Ten Best Things About LaHave, Nova Scotia. I have been living in LaHave Nova Scotia for over thirteen years. It is a beautiful little village that follows the LaHave River and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a fabulous place to live in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
#1 - It is the home of the LaHave Ferry, which connects the communities of both sides of the LaHave River, in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
#2 - It is five minutes from the LaHave River Yacht Club. The Yacht Club is very active with sailing lessons for the kids, racing nights for sailors and events for power boaters. Friday Night Happy Hour provides snacks and entertainment. All of this in a fantastic riverside setting. You won't find a better yacht club in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia
#3 - It is home to the world famous LaHave Bakery. People from all over the world come to LaHave just to experience the character of the old LaHave Outfitters building and sample the "natural ingredients only" selection of breads. My favorite is their Herb Cheese Bread, although the Raisin Orange Bread is great toasted for breakfast. It would be hard to find a better place for weekend brunch or lunch any day, in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
#4 - Folks in LaHave have mail delivery to the Post Office. You never know who you will meet when you pick up your mail. The Post Mistress is a great source of local and regional knowledge in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
#5 - The Fort Point Museum showcases four hundred years of local history. It is surrounded by natural beauty and is a great community gathering place. It is operated by the Lunenburg County Historical Society and run by a diverse group of fantastic, fun volunteers in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
#6 - On the museum grounds you will find a Symbolic Mi'kmaq Village. The third week of August is the Mi'kmaq Acadian Festival. Many families from Louisana have traced their heritage back to the Mi'kmaq and Acadians of Nova Scotia. Every year some of them make a pilgramage back to Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. The Festival features the culture, food and music of the Mi'kmaq and Acadian people.
#7 - The best meal of the season is the Annual Fort Point Museum Lobster Supper. The Lobster is fresh from local fisherman, the accompaniments are made by the fantastic, fun volunteers of the Historical Society. You have to book early, it sells out in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
#8 - One of the most active church groups in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia belongs to the West Side United Church in Pentz, just a few minutes from LaHave. Dinner Theatre, Fall & Spring Lunches, Bazaars and Summer Flings are just some of the events they host.
#9 - The area is very proud of it's community school. Pentz Elementary School is a small rural school with great teachers, great heart and a fun playground in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
#10 - LaHave has it's own community beach, tucked around the back side of the Fort Point Museum grounds. There are many other beaches just a short drive away in Lunenburg County on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
