Lunenburg’s Historic Working Waterfront
When you’re surrounded on three sides by the ocean and boast some of North America’s oldest working harbours, you learn to strive for – and deliver – excellence in marine services.
Our picturesque waterfront is home to tall ships, schooners, dories, fishing vessels and floating docks. We provide free daily berthing as available. We also offer overnight and long-term berthing options. We hope you enjoy this port of call.
Dine on a patio, uncover seaside treasures, and watch local boat builders, all along the beautiful Lunenburg waterfront. Catch the sunset with the best view dockside. Visit the tall ships that call Lunenburg home: Bluenose ll, and the Barque Picton Castle. Walk the streets lined with beautiful 18th and 19th century architecture.
