Northwest Cove, Nova Scotia

A scenic and sheltered cove in the middle of the Aspotogan Peninsula, the quaint little fishing port is a photographer's delight. Brightly colored fishing boats, buoys and fish sheds decorate the waterfront in this wonderful little cove, nestled among curvy hills that wind their way to the water.

Northwest Cove was settled in the early 1800's. A chapel-school house-which later became St. Cuthbert's Anglican Church-was built in 1882. A new schoolhouse was built a year later.

Northwest Cove is home to the Ocean Swells Community Centre, a popular spot for community dinners, and a place where local artists and artisans often gather.
