When is it open

Most of it is open all summer and it is a beautiful place to go

How long is the boardwalk

.89 km

Can a person fish from the wharf? Thanks

Don't expect so much from here. This is just sea food shopping center + a few casual restaurants. This is not as good as advertised.

Hi this is a historical question. I am doing some research for an article I'm writing. Do you know anything about a foot bridge that went fro EP to Lawlor's Island in the 30s?

No, sorry I don't

What time do the shops open on Fridays

At of this date, they open from 12 noon and close at 4 pm. A bit later in the season, they open earlier and close later.

We will be in Halifax and would like to visit Fisherman’s Cove. Can we get there via Uber/Lyft and if yes what is approximate cost?

Uber doesn't work on Halifax, but you can take the bus and is really good, you just only need to take one that takes you to bridge terminal and after that the 60 or... You could ask someone for directions, anyway it is easy to get there

Is fisherman's cove closed in November for visitors

Hi Sandeep, thank you for the inquiry. Fisherman's Cove is open year round for visitors. Some shops stay open and some close late December. Most are open on the weekends from noon to 4pm. Also, starting Nov 22 to Dec 20 the shops will also be open Thursday nights from 5pm - 9pm for Shopping under the Stars. On Nov 24 we will also be hosting our annual Christmas Craft Fair from 10am - 4pm. Hope to see you there!

Are there picnic tables around?

Hello Lyne, we do have several picnic tables dispersed around the cove. Hope you can come visit us soon!

I was very disappointed today to arrived for a stroll in my wheelchair and find out part of the boardwalk was destroyed and hasn't been repaired. I also saw parents struggling on the walk with strollers. I suggest someone look into having it repaired

Thank you for your response Michelle. The one spot you talk about makes it not fully accessible for wheelchair users and strollers. I look forward to seeing the finished product in the near future. The area I'm speaking about is just to the left of Boondocks, just past the information centre and memorial. I makes it quite difficult to manover the gravel in a wheelchair without assistance and for anyone pushing a stroller.

Is there a bus that goes there from halifax in april

Yes. Route 60

Beautiful area with beaches, ferries, rentals for activities and many shops and eateries. Definitely recommend visiting this area I'd you are in Halifax and want to slow things down and enjoy a more casual atmosphere. Area is well kept and clean and there is an information building with washrooms giving you everything you can find, or you can walk the area which is more friendly for pedestrians than cars. Parking at the beach is highly recommended.

A great spot for a stroll. The old fashioned boardwalk has gift shops and restaurants theming with the fishing culture and pirate fashion. The sandy beach and wetland offers kids a natural playground.

Its too bad it's closed in the winter but come spring it's a great little place to visit with the small shops with local gifts and good food. Take a stroll and walk the boardwalk and enjoy the shops and food

Not intresting for us from Toronto. We thought there is a good place to enjoy the old view of the boats and fishers but it was not. We even could not take a good photo. Maybe good for the local people. Not recommended to visit unless there is some improvement.

Small but sandy beach - it's a great spot to wade or take in the ocean. The area has a great boardwalk and is littered with small shops and places to eat. It feels far out of the city despite being able to get there relatively easily by bus.

Adorable little fishing village along the Marine Drive scenic drive near Dartmouth. It's hard to remember you're near the city once you stop by for a visit. Quaint little locally-owned shops selling east coast wares and plenty of food options. Beautiful boardwalk nearby and excellent views of the ocean and the downtown core from this place.

Always a must stop when I visit my aunt and uncle. Love going there, a little shopping and a great lunch. The shops are unique and amazing finds. What makes me feel good is all of their goods are made locally, be by amazing young kids. Can't think of a better reason to shop there😍

Love this place especially Preserving Traditions..Boondocks and Joe's Candy Shoppe; but the management running this group of shops is biased, and is going to run this place into the ground. The best shops they have they are getting rid of in any manner they can. If they don't like you they will put you out!!

I feel that it is over rated. It's a small area with just shops and tourists. It stated that it is an old fishing village from the 1800s but I did not get that particular feel. It does not compare to Peggy's Cove or Lunnenburg. Prices are also high.

This is such a wonderful place to visit. There are many small shops, some of which are closed in the winter, but there are two shops that stay open in the winter. One of them is a place called "Coffee Tea & Sea", of which I have a few pictures of, and the other is a gift shop. Wonderful and welcoming people is who you see there. I very highly recommend this area to everyone.

Really nice place to bring a family. Cute shops filled with neat stuff and nice restaurants around. There's also a really nice board walk which is nice to walk on after supper as the sun is setting. Everyone there is really friendly (obviously because it's the maritimes) and I go there every year with my family. Definitely a good place to get some maritime-type gifts for family or friends.

Great tourist area with many shops and places to eat. The Boardwalk is nice on a sunny day, quick 10 minute walk with nice views of the passage. The Boardwalk is in need of upkeep, it is showing its age but is overall well kept and tidy. Boondocks is a great place to eat with seafood offerings and traditional pub fare as well.

Such an easy drive from Halifax and what a fun place to visit! The shops are adorable, with so many unique items and the staff are so friendly! The board walk is great for all ages. The beach is near by for a stroll and for beach combing but not a great place to swim. We didn’t go to the restaurant but it was very busy when we were there in September. We will definitely be coming back to do some Christmas shopping.

Fisherman’s Cove in Eastern Passage is a great hidden gem of a spot in Halifax. There are quite a few stores selling local art. Also several choices for eating. On a hot day like today, you can’t go wrong with an ice cream. If you are in the area mid-August, go down for the annual Tallahassee Days to celebrate being a pirate or mermaid princess.

Fisherman's Cove is one of most popular places in the city, for good reason. Today was the official opening for the season and it was lovely. Perfect weather for walking the boardwalks and exploring the many new shops. It's easy to spend an entire afternoon here and still not see everything. The food available is excellent, as well.
