General Information Located 2.5 hours from Halifax airport, 1 hour and 15 minutes from Yarmouth airport and ferries, and 2 and a half hours from Digby Ferry to N.B., Shelburne is not far away from anywhere. We have excellent paved highways to travel our famous Lighthouse Route.

The scenery in Shelburne is breathtaking. Miles of forests surrounding crystal lakes and crashing ocean. The air is fresh and clear. The charm of the Loyalist days is still felt in our county but amongst the history, is everything one might need for modern living.

Southwestern Nova Scotia is one of the most cost effective places in North America to locate a business. The tax rate is very favourable, there is a large work force available, and the support businesses needed are plentiful. Many business people have relocated to Shelburne and run their businesses through the internet and teleconferencing.
