Step across the threshold and back in time at the W. Laurence Sweeney Fisheries Museum. Explore the Sweeney marine heritage through unique exhibits: a simulation of a traditional fishing wharf, complete with fishing, processing and ship repair sheds, wharf decks and even a coastal freighter.

A small but beautiful museum to learn about the history of Sweeney Fisheries. We were here for research, but this is a museum for everyone interested in the fish industry and fishing boats etc.

Welcome to Cape Forchu, a Light Like No Other. This spectacular and unique "apple core" lighthouse is the second most photographed lighthouse in Nova Scotia and located just 10 minutes outside the Town of Yarmouth. The Cape has been welcoming visitors since 1604, when Samuel de Champlain landed and named the area "Cap Forchu," meaning "Forked tongue of land."

It's not just a lighthouse to take photos. It is a beautiful location to hike and enjoy the cool breezes on a hot summer day. Nice people working in the gift shop, too.

We met at this park for our walking tour with Candice, and found it to be a very pretty location. Full of history, but we didn't see the ghost in the top hat during our short visit.

Experience the Maritimes the way they’re meant to be seen—by sea. The fastest way to get from Maine to Nova Scotia, the high-speed CAT ferry will take you on a two-nation vacation between Bar Harbor and Yarmouth in just 3.5 hours. Featuring plenty of onboard amenities and a knowledgeable staff and crew, your journey will be more than just fast, it will be a chance to discover the tastes, sights, and sounds of the Atlantic en route. And, at half the driving time, you’ll have even more of an opportunity to explore the Nova Scotia’s coastal beauty beyond the horizon.

We took this 5.5 hour Ferry from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia to Portland, Maine after a four week driving / exploring trip from NJ to Arcadia National Park, Price Edward Island,CA, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and Vaughan, Nova Scotia. Taking the ferry saved us many hours of driving as well as backtracking in areas we had already been. We had pre-purchased tickets (which is recommended) a couple of months in advance and we stayed in the Yarmouth area ( actually Arcadia NS) the night before to insure we would be there at 7:30 am check in for an 8:30 am departure. Check in and boarding were easy and all the personnel were friendly and helpful. After parking your vehicle on the ferry all passengers must go to the upper decks for the 5.5 hr passage. We brought our own food for the trip but there were several nice concession stands selling food, snacks and drinks. The passenger deck was clean, nicely decorated with super comfortable reclining seats or seats with tables. Large screen tv's were strategically located. They had movies in a central location and a kids play area. You could get fresh air on the side and rear deck areas. They had a fun bingo and group trivia games which you could join for about 90 minutes in the middle of the trip to entertain and pass the time. Cruise was smooth and enjoyable. Started in a fog bank outside Yarmouth and broke into a nice sunny day in about 2 hours. Upon exiting we got through US Customs in about 15 minutes. This was a bit pricey but an enjoyable experience which saved us from backtracking and many hours of driving. Dan & Karen Old Bridge, NJ
