Liverpool

Tucked along the Mersey River estuary on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, Liverpool is a place whose character is shaped by its Atlantic harbour. Founded in 1759, the town developed as a seaport and became associated with privateering during the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Fort Point Lighthouse, built in 1855 at the harbour entrance, recalls the coast’s working maritime history. The waterfront leads into a compact town centre, while the wider South Shore is marked by coves, islands and fishing communities. Liverpool also lies on Nova Scotia’s Lighthouse Route, a coastal drive linking Halifax and Yarmouth.
