Shelburne is the prettiest town along Nova Scotia's south shore with a beautifully maintained historic waterfront. It is much smaller than Lunenburg but quieter and better located for visiting all the South Shore, most everything within an hour's drive: other towns and villages, sandy beaches, great seafood. Cooper's Inn is among the very best historic B&B's we have stayed at. Charlotte Lane Cafe is quite small but the food is superb.

Shelburne is rather a mixed bag. Waterfront is interesting and generally attractive. Some of the old houses in town have been very well restored, others are badly in need of repair. Major commercial operations are fortunately out of town, but still conveniently located. The only buildings out of character are the banks - as usual in the Maritimes. The local town council and Chamber of Commerce need to get their acts together. Shelburne could be as attractive and dynamic as St Andrews in New Brunswick!!

This is an historic old town with a great harbour. It has old buildings and has been used for movie sets. There is a dory museum and the fantastic Black Loyalist Museum in Birchtown. The waterfront is great for walking. And you have to eat at Charlotte's Lane.

Shelburne is a very. very. very quiet town. Only one place to get food or drink-"Boxing Rock" and it is very limited with food and felt more like a community centre than pub. Historic museum village on waterfront but no amenities at all. Yacht club at end but members only!!!!! Much better places to visit in NS, personally wouldn't recommend this place. AVOID!

Shelburne is a very pretty town. We basically used this area as 'home base" for travelling around the South Shore of Nova Scotia. We did walk (2 minutes from our Motel) to Boxing Rock for supper one evening and we walked (10 minutes) to the brand new Emerald Light Restaurant the other evening. Both facilities were great. Very nice people and great food.

Shelburne is a quaint little town on Nova Scotia's south shore. We were only there for the accommodations, as we were just looking for an affordable place to spend the night as we had been tenting and the weather had turned. Would definately recommend putting this little village on places to visit on the south shore.
