Spilling dramatically into the Annapolis Basin, Digby is a warm and friendly seaside town with a long seafaring heritage. Celebrated as the "Scallop Capital of the World," its famous Digby scallops draw foodies from far and wide, and its waterfront bustles with fishing boats, creating a picturesque scene that captures the essence of the town's maritime traditions.
Digby's downtown boasts historic architecture, boutique shops, and restaurants serving freshly caught seafood. The town is also home to the Admiral Digby Museum, offering a fascinating glimpse into its maritime past. The annual Digby Scallop Days festival further underscores the town's connection to the sea, featuring events, parades, and, of course, culinary celebrations centred around the scallop that’s made the town so famous.
Surrounded by stunning coastal vistas, Digby provides opportunities for scenic drives along the Digby Neck and Islands, where residents can explore lighthouses, beaches, and coastal trails. The ferry to Saint John, New Brunswick, departs from Digby, enhancing its role as a gateway to other maritime destinations.
