Digby is a town in western Nova Scotia which lies on the Annapolis Basin of the Bay of Fundy beside the western side of Digby Gut, a channel leading to the Bay of Fundy. . Settled in 1783, the town is famous for its scallop fishing fleet.
Since 2004, Digby has become the destination for a major regional motorcycle rally, the annual Wharf Rat Rally. It attracts many times the town's population, up to 17,000 motorcyclists, so many that schools and some roads have to close for the day due to crowds and motorcycle traffic.The Wharf Rat Rally event is generally held the week of Labour Day in September each year.
We stopped at a wholesale fish distributor on the docks that also includes a small restaurant "The Royal Fundy Seafood Company" This is as fresh as seafood gets. Barbara had sautéed scallops, I tried the haddock. Not only was it great, but it was a bargain $15.00 plus tip,
For dessert we stopped at the Mag Pyie bakery. The owner came out to greet us, turned out she loves SC especially Myrtle Beach. She and her husband are planning a another trip to the US that would take them through Charlotte, we invited them to stay with us.
The boat harbor is an active fishing and boat repair location, got some great pics.
