"My mom and her friend Natalie love to take me to this park on the weekends. It’s usually packed with other doggies. I love to sit by the water and chill out."

"One of Halifax’s best-kept secrets, McNabs Island is the largest island and can be spotted at the entrance of the Halifax Harbour. There are over 22km of beautiful hiking trails around the provincial park. Just make sure to pack enough water for everyone because there is no drinking water available in the park."

"Often overlooked, McNabs Island actually has a beautiful beach on the island very close to downtown ... the only issue is that you need a boat to get there. The beach is located in area called McNabs Cove and the island provides a great place to camp, or explore the extremely old and historic forts."

"Not many people are aware that McNabs Island has a beautiful beach. Located just a couple of kilometers from downtown Halifax, McNab’s is usually an afterthought because you need a boat to get there. Being on McNabs is a unique experience in itself, with old forts that date back to the 1860s."

"In Porters Lake, Crowbar Lake Hiking Trail system offers an 18 kilometre footpath that follows a small lake. The trail system breaks down into four smaller trails, each offering different views of the scenery surrounding Porters Lake. Each section of the trail allows hikers to return to the beginning of the rail easily, so hikers can customize their walk."

"This provincial park has great lake access and lots of trails that wander in and out of the forest to keep the scenery dynamic for your excited pup!. This park is maintained by the municipality and very accessible. This park is accessible all year round is dog friendly but leash-only."

"Herring Cove Provincial Park is a great area to bring your pup if you want to experience the beautiful Nova Scotia Coast. There are views of the Halifax Harbour from the parking lot, and the trails are a little rugged: perfect for those dogs who like a hike and have a little extra energy to burn off. Just be aware, the trails are dog-friendly, but the actual beach is not, so if you want to run in the waves, you will have to choose another one of the many Halifax beaches!"

"Enjoy the beautiful oceans views and sounds of crashing waves on this coastal trail. Being a bit of rocky trail, it is important to wear closed toe footwear. Dogs are welcome on the trail but there are no garbage cans on route."

"Located in the always popular Hydrostone area, this trendy bakery and café offers a cozy atmosphere inside and airy space outside on its patio. While the selection of cakes by the slice is somewhat limited compared to other places, what it does offer is superb and hard to find elsewhere. You can also enjoy a full range of coffee and other beverages with your selection."

"Another local favourite, Julien’s is the weakness go-to bakery for a MASSIVE number of Haligonians 😉 And what goes better with pastries and bread than a freshly brewed cup of coffee on a sunny patio?"

"Considering that calling something “unpretentious” has become a bit pretentious itself, Weird Harbour is best described as a hospitable slice of Hali-heaven. The sun is always basking through giant windows, past the petite seating area and spilling over the custom-made wooden espresso bar. Also shining is beloved barista and owner Dan Weir, whose genuine service and creamy lattes will melt your heart."
