Advocate Harbour

Low tide in Advocate harbour in the winter time

Advocate Harbour is a coastal community that offers dramatic views and an idyllic setting for those seeking a tranquil pace of life. Life in this quaint fishing village is intimately connected to the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides. 

In Advocate Harbour, simplicity reigns supreme. Traditional fishing practices and maritime traditions are still very much alive, providing a sense of continuity and cultural richness. As the village embraces a slower pace of life, residents find solace in the unhurried rhythm of nature. Residents and visitors alike enjoy Cape Chignecto Provincial Park, Nova Scotia’s largest park offering back-country and day use trails, beaches and camping. Of course, in town residents also enjoy locally-inspired dining, shops, a library, a district school, and more.

Advocate Harbour embodies the essence of coastal living, offering a peaceful haven for those who appreciate the beauty of the sea and the simplicity of a small, rural community.
