What a beautiful area. Enjoyed our time here at the lighthouse and the surrounding area. Lots of park benches, picnic tables and places to admire the area. We didn’t go up the stairs as we arrived after hours.

A unique lighthouse with a short walking trail nearby. Great views and definitely worth a stop. It was fairly busy in mid-October, and the lighthouse museum was closed.

Cape Forchu Lighthouse A hidden gem in Yarmouth! The area is well-maintained, with great signage and fascinating historical information. It’s perfect for a short scenic walk and photography. Don’t miss the whale exhibit—“Meet Foggy the Fin Whale”—a unique and educational touch! After Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, this is my second favorite. One of the top attractions in Yarmouth—highly recommended!

What an amazing experience. The Yarmouth coast line is just beautiful. The staff at the Lighthouse was just as Amazing. I recommend anyone who decides to stop in, take the climb to the top. There is also a museum and little snack area, as well as a gift shop, all right there at the Lighthouse. On a good day, get out and walk the shore. They have the skeleton of a 🐋, and if you remember, make yourself a wooden sign with where you are from, with distance. Add it to the sign post along the shoreline. Was raining today, so didn't get to do all of it, plus short on time. Next time, will make sure to experience all that it has to offer. Thank you to the staff.......

Beautiful spot that rivals Peggy's Cove, especially during a beautiful clear sunset. Great parking, wonderful views, and in the summertime, they have accessible valets to take to the end of the trail.

Beautiful area with a unique apple shaped light house. It's up a little hill, but they have a shuttle that can take you up if you're need it. It's extra to go up in the light house.

Beautiful view, nice spot to hike around. Easy trail. We went somewhat off season so things weren't open

Took the first ferry of the season from Yarmouth to Bar Harbor today. All boat staff were amazing! Captain Stu is a total pro and thanks for the tour and maybe see you on two wheels some time. Special thanks to Linda for the warm hospitality and the cake! If you’re ever thinking about taking a trip on this boat, do it! Thank you again Cat Ferries!

Had a pleasant cruise I wish the tv didn’t repeat. The muffin tasted a day old. The ship was clean. The staff friendly. Plenty of comfortable seating. Some couches to nap on

Big thank you for providing me a wonderful and much needed couples weekend away. Your crew on the ferry made all of it more enjoyable. Id like to give a special thanks to the trivia folks yesterday (Sept 1) for making it memorable. Also a gentlemen by the name of Shawn on August 29 who took time to ask us how our trip was. He answered a lot of questions we had in mind about the history of the ferry. You guys are providing a truely incredible service and I can't wait to come back

All I can say is "Wow". The only issue is the trip wasn't long enough. 🤣 No wonder why all of the staff members where so happy. Very comfortable ride, plenty of selections for food, or enjoy a glass of wine with a cheese spread. Enjoyed it from the beginning to the ending.

This experience FAR exceeded my expectations! If you have not made this trip, I highly recommend it! It was a seemless and welcoming on-board experience, the staff truly made us feel like we were appreciated for booking. It cut several hours off my drive to Maine, which was nice, but the set up inside the ferry was incredible. There were so many food and drink options, live music, a movie being played in another section, places you could take out your laptop or just sit in front of a window and whale watch. They also had great outdoor observation decks, which was a beautiful day I went, so that was a bonus too. I can't get over how friendly the staff were, some that stood out were Paris at the Cafe and Linda. I believe she was a manager, then there were all the guys working below to get people parked and out of their cars safely, they were wonderful too. It was such a great experience!

Wonderful friendly service to Nova Scotia! Comfortable seats and a gorgeous view of the water. Live Music supplied by a local musician, all made the time go by quickly!

Very well organized from booking to check in to loading the ferry. Staff were very friendly, live music was fantastic. Food and drink selections were amazing. Accessibility and comfort on board were top notch you will not be disappointed with this high speed ferry experience. The time saving convenient schedule is well worth the money. Bay ferries has got this right !

Absolutely worth visiting if you are in Yarmouth. The information and exhibits allowed us to understand Yarmouth and the shipping and fishing industry in this area much better. The design of the museum is very intelligent as they fit whole buidlings, offices and a boat into the museum space by deconstructing the originals and rebuilding them at a smaller scale. Still the purpose of the rooms and the ship are intact which makes the exhibition much more real and vivid. Brilliant idea, congratulations. We enjoyed our visit and our little chat with the super friendly lady in the museum. Rudder' s Seafood Restaurant is only steps away and an excellent choice after the visit for lunch or dinner.

We hadn’t intended on visiting this museum, but when the Yarmouth County Museum was closed for a window replacement we decided to check it out. The admission for the two of us was less than 10 dollars and Julie greeted us warmly and was very knowledgeable! She gave my son (7 years old) a scavenger hunt and he happily explored the museum and exhibits, working away at it for over an hour! When we needed some help, Julie gave us some hints and also offered wonderful context and information about everything on display. We got to climb up and explore a boat and get some fun pictures at the wheel as well. When we left we were both so pleased with the visit and fun time! Definitely worth a visit! Thanks so much for the lovely time!

Such an amazing place to visit. You can learn so much about the fishing industry.

This was a delight of a museum! Historic buildings reassembled indoors to recreate a wharf with all the equipment. Lots of photos, books and archive materials too!

Very Nice !! So much to see in a compact area Definitely worth a visit !!

Quiet and peaceful day spent learning about the past practices harvesting the sea

A real museum. No computer displays or interactive stuff just packed full of old shipping/fishing memorabilia. Fascinating place to spend an hour browsing our maritime history. It even smells old from the original wooden floors and old books. Just marvelous And the staff are knowledgeable about the collection and local history. Sorry to “gush” over it but I really enjoyed my visit today and I hope you do too

We were visiting Yarmouth and took an afternoon to see the Mastodon. But wow -- so many other cool things to see! Kids twelve and under are free; adults are $12. It was definitely worth the visit.

I've been to this museum a few times, and there was always a friendly volunteer to greet you when you go in, however this time(July 14th) a young lady with dyed green colour in her hair was at the front area. She didn't look up didn't acknowledge us in any way(2 teenage guys were also there volunteering and didn't acknowledge us either). I've worked in museums before and your always supposed to smile, welcome the tourists to the museum talk a tiny bit about the building tell them if they have any questions to let you know and ask them to sign the guest book. The director of the museum needs to have a talk with the young volunteers and inform them how to properly interact with people, no excuse to be rude, people who work in a museum should have a passion for history not look like they could care less, McDonald's and Tim Hortons is always hiring if you need something to do!

Rev.Jomon Vincent here from India, Its really an awesome Place. I had an opportunity to do a Presentation about "Incredible India" Powered by Y-Reach Yarmouth. Great appreciation to Nadine Gates(Museum Director) Lisette Gaudet(Archivist) Elizabeth Zavala Y-reach Settlement Navigator and East Link Community TV for your warm welcome and hospitality towards newcomers in Yarmouth. It was really amazing. God bless you.

The Yarmouth Museum is an absolute treasure that deserves a five-star rating! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a wealth of history and engaging exhibits that truly bring the region's past to life. The museum is well-organized, making it easy to navigate through the various displays, which cover everything from local maritime history to cultural artifacts. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the museum’s offerings, always ready to share fascinating stories and insights. I especially enjoyed the interactive elements, which make learning fun for visitors of all ages. The museum's location is also lovely, providing a pleasant atmosphere for a leisurely visit. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking for a unique experience in Yarmouth, this museum is a must-visit. I left feeling enriched and eager to return! Highly recommend it!

This is a great nautical museum right in the heart of Yarmouth. Many, many exhibits. Plan on spending at least a few hours to get the full benefit

Very interesting museum with lots of exhibits to discover. Actually too much to discover everything in one visit. :-)

Friendly staff. Museum has some pretty great content for all ages and only costed $3 per person. Nice way to spent 30-40 minutes, especially if your from out of town.

If you have anything to do with the fire service this is the place to go to learn the history and heritage of it. See the displays. Multiple trucks and helmets. Collection of patches from visitors. Displays of the equipment from the past right up to the current. Make sure you take lots of time to see everything properly.

What a lovely museum dedicated to firefighting in NS. It's a self-guided tour but the staff were super friendly and told us to ask if we had any questions. Some very interesting olf fire engines and equipment on display, and some fascinating archives of previous local major events the fire service attended.

We were here first thing in the morning and so got a lot of personal attention from Gary. His history and knowledge of the museum is awesome. He made our visit a real learning experience. The exhibit is outstanding, and the museum houses a nice selection of pumps, fire engines and memorabilia. There is a very interesting room toward the back left on the first floor that speaks to the fire alarm warning boxes seen throughout a town/city. We paid $5 per person entrance fee, reduced for 65 and older, as well as kids. It was money well spent to see this wonderful museum. Kids are allowed to sit on one of the trucks to explore and pose for pictures, so this is an excellent place for kids. I highly recommend with the caveat that Gary will make your visit much more interesting than a run through the museum without him.

The museum offers a large, rare collection of firefighting memorabilia. You can see nearly every type of fire engine ever used in Nova Scotia, as well as patches and badges from fire services from around the world.

Wow what can I say about this large museum, but fantastic. They have so many artifacts that are well persevered and kept to their natural state as if they were brand new. Small fee (Five Canadian) with what they have should be chartered more (shhhhhh). Staff are super friendly and courteous and helpful.

A wonderful trip back in time. We have all seen these in the old movies, now here is a chance to see them in person and 'imagine'. Yes, imagine how they ever put out any large fires with these tiny pieces of apparatus. Thanks to the ingenuity of men and women over the years, things have evolved. Thanks to those who have preserved this piece of history for us.

If I could have caught my sons reaction when we walked in, the moment he went "Fire" it would have been but a glimpse of the excitement he felt crossing the threshold. Filed to the brim with old, restored fire engines, equipment, brotherhood. It gives a glimpse into the history of Yarmouth itself through its turmoil, and loss. It's truely a think of beauty to behold

One of my new favorite places to have a nice fancy type lunch-in experience with a little European café flare. The owner was very passionate about her food service and therefore made the experience all the more enjoyable. Great coffees, nibbler platters and sweet or savoury crêpes to be had. I was even suggested the wines which was a new menu addition this year. Loved that there’s a take out window option for those in a hustle. The prices may be a bit on the high side but definitely worth it for the experience as I am a dining experience kinda gal.

What a lovely place! Wonderful hospitality, beautiful decor! We felt right at home! My husband and I stopped here on our way from NY to Halifax with my teenage daughter and her friend. Thank you for a terrific stay--we highly recommend this B&B!

My experience here was awhile ago now... I keep trying to go again, and missing their open hours. We toured the beautiful gallery, and spoke to the really welcoming and interesting proprietor. My mother, who studied architecture, had to be dragged away from the house. We ordered a chocolate, a ginger and a strawberry ice cream. Hands down, the best ice cream I've had in the province. (And I've tried a lot of ice cream here). My chocolate was rich and creamy, the strawberry was a strawberry base with pieces of strawberry, and the ginger was the same. Ginger is really hard to find, so I hope they still carry it. Well worth a stop.

Had a crepe from the creperie window and it was great! Nice location to sit out in the yard and have a delicious crepe and sip on a coffee. I had the maple crepe and my sister had the specialty crepe. Both were delicious.

Although it's no longer a bed and breakfast, the crêperie and art gallery make it a must-visit location.

Wonderful host and location. Beautiful gallery and rooms

Wonderful gallery with a lovely Bristo. I would definitely recommend it.

Small eclectic collection of local art. Very nicely displayed. Friendly staff

Lovely gallery displaying local art and artisans.

Nice place..

This is an amazing gallery, it has so much to offer, including a display of Maud Lewis art. A definite must see in Yarmouth NS

A wonderful place to view interesting thought provoking works of art.

I was hoping for so much more but 20 canvases of a mediocre quality (please remember art is in the eye of the beholder) in one room does not justify being termed a “gallery” I realize in these Covid times things are difficult but really Don’t bother going. With investment and some radical ideas like say bringing the “Annie Leibovitz” photo collection to Yarmouth as a major permanent attraction (but Halifax would never allow this) this could be a real asset to the south shore but the staffs embarrassment when asked “is that all of the gallery” says it all. Sorry to be very negative but that’s 20 minutes of my life I will not get back

Lots of empty spaces ....these could be filled to the brim with paintings of local artists. Maude Lewis circle was very interesting...personal sharing of contact with Maude a great idea.

Just the right size. It's a wonderful place to enjoy great art without getting overwhelmed. Cute little gift shop, too.

Nice place and when you get to Yarmouth you just need to stop there. You will enjoy the nice place that is friendly and will help you to spend some time time visiting

I occasionally bring my kids to activities here put on by local artists. Its free and they learn about how to produce different types of art.

We were visiting Yarmouth and took an afternoon to see the Mastodon. But wow -- so many other cool things to see! Kids twelve and under are free; adults are $12. It was definitely worth the visit.

It is easy to get in and out of. Lots of parking. Good food and music. Lots of nice boats in the harbor and at the Marina

Wonderful

Neat place

(Translated by Google) Outstanding jeweler. Decent prices. Impeccable work. (Original) Bijoutier hors pair. Prix décents. Travail irréprochable.

Great spot. Exactly what we were looking for. A nice brewery to relax in after a walk around the town taking in all that Yarmouth has to offer on nice sunny day!

Always make a stop here on my annual Yarmouth visit! Incredibly fair prices and amazing beer! Got the chips and dip this time, it was so good & amazing portion for the price. Highly recommend!!

We visited Heritage Brewing Co. on a rainy Saturday in November after seeing all the great Google reviews, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The taproom was very quiet when we arrived — just two other guests sitting at the bar — but the cold, wet weather likely kept people away. Even so, the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting. I can easily imagine this place being packed and full of energy on a nice day. I ordered a flight of four beers and chose an ale, lager, stout, and red ale. Every single one was delicious. Each style was well-crafted, balanced, and full of flavour. I could have stayed much longer just sipping and relaxing. We’ll definitely be returning the next time we’re in Yarmouth!

Friendly and welcoming staff, good selection of beers that would fit most tastes. We did a couple tastings and while the beer doesn’t necessarily fit the traditional labels, they are very good and offer a complexity not found with most breweries. Live music was a fun plus and my husband and I felt completely at ease and comfortable.

Tucked away on a side street when we visited, but understand that the brewery was moving to a larger space on Main Street. Enjoyed the beer as all the taps served a solid quality brew.

Nice spot. Staff seem to be friendly. Had a flight. First time I’ve experienced this but nearly all the beers tasted like they had smoked malt. I suspect there is a water quality issue? I’m certified BJCP and this was very uncharacteristic. Even the cream ale was undrinkable. Will return to give it another try. Music was great!

Stopped by expecting a great choice of locally crafted beers, instead out of 15 beverages listed 5 were not available. No lagers available. Either they had a great run on lagers or poor reaction time to brew more. Disappointed! But the staff were friendly.

Quiet beach , great place for family

Nice beach, very close to Yarmouth. Best enjoyed at mid-tide.

Awesome when it isn't busy so much room and the sand is nice

Nice and hot water!

Beautiful beach

This beach was really cool. The drive there was just as nice as the beach. I went into the water it was nice. There was some nice rocks to sit on and look out. The beach had basically noone there. Not much sea weed. Cant wait to go back one day.

Great beach to spend the day at. It's not huge but the sands are free of debris.

Nice small sandy beach not far from yarmouth town and the lighthouse. There are no lifeguards here

Close to Yarmouth sand beach...great place!

One of my most favorite spots !

My favorite place to be on earth

A beautiful place.

Always fun to go and walk the beach, love it as the dog rolls in and out . On minute you can see everything, the next not 5 feet infront of you . Love it there

Too many people with their dogs and not picking up the crap

Nice beach. Even the fog couldn't stop us to spend the afternoon there.
