North Rustico
Within a few minutes of arrival, it is pretty obvious that this is not simply a tourist town.
Rickety, boxy fishermen's houses painted in navies, brick reds and beiges, line a deep
harbor that is simply packed with fishing vessels. A walk east from the pier along the
boardwalk, and out to North Rustico Harbour, is a great way to take in the sights, sounds
and smells of this little village.
Activities
