Victoria-by-the-sea recognized by Forbes Magazine

EXERPT: Pastel-colored cottages line the shore in Victoria-by-the-Sea—their widow’s walks and picket fences nodding to a seafaring past. Here, the smell of fresh lobster drifts from artsy harborside cafés—while kayakers paddle the red-sand coast of the Northumberland Strait. At the Victoria Seaport Lighthouse, silver-speckled gulls wheel overhead—while the Studio Gallery serves up island-made etchings and oils, and the Victoria Playhouse draws crowds in plenty. Stroll past antique shops and sweet-smelling chocolatiers, where locals greet you by name. Then, as twilight falls, the village glimmers—quiet, creative, and steeped in maritime charm.
