Three Churches of Mahone Bay

Highlight • Religious Site

The best and most impressive view of the three churches is from the opposite side of the bay. Unfortunately I had no opportunity for a photo at this point.

Tip by

The small tranquil boat builder town of Mahone Bay in Nova Scotia is located on the bay of the same name and is known for its riverside three churches. But every single colorful house and the many sweet shops are absolutely worth seeing! Even the public toilet in the parking lot has style!
