Sal’s by the Sea is nestled in the rustic out-port community of Herring Cove, Nova Scotia. This quaint little fishing village is only 20 minutes from the lights and bustle of downtown Halifax but offers a total escape from hectic everyday life. You’ll love the warm wood tones used throughout the house and the special feeling of light reflecting off the water right at our doorstep. Enjoy the great view of the ocean from our deck and watch ships of all kinds entering Halifax Harbour. Sharp eyed visitors will spot sea birds, seals and even whales! Relax on our spacious private wharf, enjoy a stroll around the picturesque cove, or hike along our rocky shore. A short drive will take you to shopping centres and fine restaurants, or visit one of Nova Scotia’s many heritage or natural sites. Whether you enjoy gardens & parks, beaches or ski slopes, “Canada’s Ocean Playground” has it all, and you’re never more than 75 miles from the sea no matter where you go! Drive yourself along our scenic highways, or catch the bus just a few minutes walk away.

Great place to stay in the Halifax area
Very comfortable, spacious suite in a lovely house right on the water in quiet Herring Cove – about 20 min by car from the boardwalk in downtown Halifax and well located for exploring the South Shore. Joan is a warm and welcoming host, and Willie the chocolate lab is one of the friendliest dogs you could hope to meet. Excellent breakfasts

A beautiful spot on the water!
This B&B has a gorgeous view of the water and a lovely dock with colorful Adirondack chairs and flowers. There is also a small building on the deck that has a cozy wood burning stove, a table, chairs and refrigerator. We ordered a great pizza from across the road and ate down on the dock with the the fire going. It was so nice to have the extra outdoors space. The B&B has a small kitchen, refrigerator living room and a nice large TV. The bedroom has a very comfortable queen size bed. What we enjoyed the most was visiting with the owner. Joan was warm sweet and just lovely!
Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect…
This is a fabulous B and B, with the best hosts. It’s location is at Herring Cove, about a 30-minute drive to Halifax city centre and an hour’s scenic drive to Peggy’s Cove. It’s a quiet, beautiful spot, with great views out to the sea from the breakfast area, the room and down on the little jetty. It is very private (you have your own entrance), has a spacious lounge and dining area including a kitchen with the basic essentials. Just around the corner is a small convenience store and an excellent take-out with a huge menu – the fresh fish and chips were the best! Sal’s was the perfect place for us to stay – a real relaxed, home away from home. We would definitely stay here again – highly recommend it. A special hug for young Willy the chocolate Labrador.
