Hubbards Cove, Nova Scotia

The 'Hub' of the Ten Beaches area, Hubbards is Ten Beaches busiest destination spot for accommodations, entertainment, festivals and events. Hubbards is also home to one of the loveliest of our Ten Beaches. Located just off Exit 6, Hubbards was originally known as Hubbards Cove, but the word Cove was dropped from the name in 1805. Prominent builders of the community included the Shatford family, after which both the local elementary school and the community's library are both named.

Hubbards, known for its many waterfront cottages, has been a long-time destination for people from Halifax and surrounding communities. Both the Hubbards Beach and the nearby Queensland Beach make Hubbards a popular area to visit and vacation. There are many local activities to enjoy such fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking on the ocean and biking or hiking along the nature trails. The Hubbards is also a hot spot for dancing and lobster boils.

Wonderful waterfront access from oceanfront cottages, docks and public areas allow you to enjoy magnificent sunsets, breaking waves, soaring sea birds, and in the autumn, brilliant fall colors.

All this makes Hubbards a great place for relaxation and fun.
