Why you'd want to live in Dartmouth

Situated just a short ferry ride across Halifax Harbour from downtown Halifax, Dartmouth is home to many quaint cafes, noteworthy food joints, shops and a charm all its own. Dartmouth, also known as the City of Lakes, boasts 23 lakes that provide opportunities for kayaking, windsurfing, canoeing and swimming. Paddle on Lake Banook or visit one of the many parks and walking trails that stretch out into the unspoiled coastal beauty of the Eastern Shore. Visit the Dartmouth Waterfront to walk along the boardwalk, the ideal place for a photo of the Halifax skyline, of take a boat tour from nearby Fisherman's Cove in Eastern Passage to McNabs Islands.
