Stay in town.
Browse a gallery, walk the waterfront or explore a small museum. Leave time for a coffee and something you did not set out to find.

Activities
in Annapolis Royal
Begin with whatever catches your interest. A gallery along Saint George Street, a story behind an old doorway, a trail that follows the water. Annapolis Royal offers plenty to fill a day, and room to leave part of it unplanned.
Stay close and explore on foot, or spend a day among the forests, waterways and coast beyond town. These are a few good places to begin.

Follow a little further.
Pair Fort Anne with a museum, drive around the Basin to Port-Royal, or choose a walk at Delaps Cove.

Set aside a day for Kejimkujik or a whale watching trip. The journey is part of the pleasure; dinner in town can wait until you return.
