New Glasgow is a quaint Nova Scotia town situated far between Halifax and Prince Edward Island, as well as 30 minutes from the cozy vacation Airbnbs in Antigonish. Founded in 1776, it receives several tourists annually even with its low population of below 10,000. Although sparsely populated, there’s no shortage of exciting activities that you can indulge in and places you can explore in this town. Some of the best beaches in Canada, such as Melmerby Beach, are also found in this region. Additionally, this town’s downtown area is an excellent spot to sample tasty cuisines as it’s endowed with local and international restaurants.
