South Shore
The South Shore is an important area for tourism in the province. It has a higher than average proportion of cottages, hotels, and tourist attractions. The provincial scenic travel way, the "Lighthouse Route" runs on Trunk 3 through most centres along the shore. The tourism industry is concentrated in the towns of Lunenburg, Chester, Mahone Bay, Liverpool, the five white sand beaches surrounding Riverport, and the fishing community of Peggy's Cove. The largest community in the region is the town of Bridgewater, which is the commercial and industrial centre, although not a major tourism draw. Shelburne is second largest, with Liverpool and Lunenburg next. Lunenburg, a World Heritage Site and the host to several major music festivals and arts events, plus the Bluenose II, is generally considered to be the
cultural capital of the South Shore, with Bridgewater its industrial centre. However, that is over-generalized, as several key industries, notably shipping and aerospace and software, have a presence in Lunenburg that exceeds that in Bridgewater. Small tranquil seaside towns like chester, and it's likeside reatreats makes this shore a top choice for commuters to the HRM. There are 49,000 apratment/condos in Nova Scotia outside of HRM, with the average 2 bed unit renting for $884/month, just under canada's average.
