With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Yarmouth, 18 miles away, has to offer. Yarmouth Ferry Terminal, Cape Forchu Lightstation and Yarmouth Mall alone make the drive out worthwhile. Situated 40 miles away, Smiths Cove is another popular choice. If you swing by, don’t miss Digby Pines Golf Resort, HMCS CFB Cornwallis Military Museum and Annapolis Basin Look Off Provincial Park.
