McNabs Island is the largest island at the entrance of Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia. Part of the McNabs and Lawlor Islands Provincial Park, McNabs Island is only a short boat ride from Halifax or Eastern Passage, but feels like a world away with its colorful past and unspoiled natural beauty. Promoting and preserving McNabs Island’s many historical and natural features is the Friends of McNabs Island Society, a volunteer, non-profit charity. Beyond hosting events such as picnics, nature and historical tours, the Society produces informative newsletters, a guide book, maps and brochures. It also works with Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Parks Canada to upkeep and develop park infrastructure on the island.

This island is located at the mouth of the Halifax harbor. It's not hard to get there, you need to find a water taxi that will bring you over though. Google is your best bet to find one.
A hidden gem that's not so hidden. An island right in the middle of the city that has some cool history. Head down to the waterfront or head over to Eastern Passage and grab a taxi boat to McNabs Island. Hike around the island, camp, go for a swim, check out the old fort or family history of the island. A short trip that's totally worth it and not that touristy or busy. A boat taxi will schedule a pick up and drop off time so you don't have to worry about being stranded on an island.
