The Halifax Boardwalk stretches along the city's historic harbor, providing a picturesque route for walking, cycling, or simply sitting and watching the ferries glide by. Lined with lively patios, ice cream stands, and unique boutiques, it also features major attractions like the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 and the retired HMCS Sackville, a WWII corvette. Benches and green spaces invite you to pause and take in the salty air, while street performers add to the cheerful atmosphere. It's the heart of Halifax's waterfront revival.

Don't miss

  • Visit the HMCS Sackville, Canada's last surviving World War II corvette, docked along the boardwalk
  • Stop at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 to explore Canada's gateway for immigrants
