Ten Beaches of Nova Scotia - Aspotogan HarbourAspotogan Harbour - Nova Scotia

This picturesque village located on Aspotogan Harbour, and first settled in the 1830's, derives its name from either the Mi'kmaq word "Ashmutogan," meaning "block the passage way," or "Ukpudskakun," which means "where the seals go in and out." It was formerly known as Sandy Beaches.

Originally used as a fishing port, the cove still has a couple of small wharves used for fishing. Nestled among steep rolling hills, the cove and its fishery make for a delightful spot to take photographs from its high vantage points.
