Pugwash

Nestled along the shores of the Northumberland Strait, the Village of Pugwash represents all that is good along the northern shores of Nova Scotia—friendly people, a deep harbour, sandy beaches, and the "warmest waters north of the Carolinas" in the summer. 

Pugwash boasts beautiful beaches—including the popular Pugwash Harbour Beach—an elementary school and high school, seaside golf, a waterfront downtown with shops and services, endless opportunity for outdoor adventure, and more. The town embraces its maritime heritage, and the annual Gathering of the Clans event celebrates the rich cultural tapestry of the region. With its stunning waterfront views and a laid-back lifestyle, living in Pugwash offers a perfect blend of coastal serenity and community camaraderie.
