Community Details
Don’t let the size fool you! Eastern Passage offers the feel of small-town living, but you’ll be surprised by the abundance of activities, beautiful scenery, and amenities this community offers.
Located at the entrance of the Halifax Harbour, Eastern Passage is a 20-minute drive from Downtown Halifax.
Rich in history tied to the fishing industry, its waterfront has many small wharves and piers.
Stroll the picturesque boardwalk of Fisherman’s Cove (a restored fishing village that is over 200 years old!) and visit the many shops and eateries where you will find delicious food, Maritime crafts, local paintings, unique folk art, and souvenirs to bring home.
Eastern Passage is also near many of Nova Scotia’s beautiful beaches and there are many beachside homes in the area.
Home to CFB Shearwater, a military air base, at the northern boundary of the community, oil refineries and the Volvo Halifax Assembly plant, the community has grown and offers lots of amenities.
