The boardwalk is about two miles long with the Casino Nova Scotia at the north end and the Canadian Museum of Immigration at the south end. Great views of McNabs Island, the lighthouse, and ship traffic can been seen on the water side. Restaurants, little shops, and snack shacks are along the inland side. For crafts and fresh local food take a stroll to the Farmers Market which is opened daily. The Maritime Museum, along with the ferry and tour boat docks, is located near the north end of the boardwalk.
The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Discovery Centre, Halifax Citadel, Museum of Natural History and Halifax Public Gardens are all within walking distance of the boardwalk but the streets are very steep so you may want to drive to visit them.
24 hour parking lots are located right along the waterfront. We parked in the lot on the corner of Lower Water Street and Morris Street. At $22.00 it’s a little expensive for what amounts to dry camping but the location is fabulous. Smaller RVs will fit into two spaces and the fee is the same as for a car. Payment is made through coin/credit card operated machines. The maximum fee per day is $16.00 which is good until 6:00 PM. The nightly fee is $6.00. It’s not possible to pay for all 24 hours at once. We visited after Labor Day and the lots always had open spaces.
The boardwalk is all accessible and in good condition. There isn’t an access path from the Lower Water/ Morris lot to the boardwalk so wheelchair users must exit the lot to the sidewalk and go through next lot to access the boardwalk. Boardwalk
