Welcome to the Digby Backpackers Inn, a home-style hostel right in Digby. Digby is located right on the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world. World class whale watching in the area! Large living room, large fully equipped kitchen, newly renovated bathrooms and ocean view balcony.

Come discover us, discover the real Nova Scotia!

So you are planning on visiting Lunenburg, Peggies Cove and Cape Breton? Yes, that is a good start. However, if you REALLY want to see Nova Scotia you need to get off that beaten track. Digby is a good place to start: a small town with some tourism (which means you can find a nice place to try some seafood!), but still dominated by fishing. Come walk down the fishermen's wharf and talk to the fishermen, or just watch them hard at work. Enjoy the beautiful scenery from the boardwalk, be amazed by the highest tides in the world (Digby is located right at the Bay of Fundy!), or just enjoy a scallop dinner while looking out over the bay.

This is where history and nature meet in a dynamic mix of scenic pleasure witness to the many peoples and cultures having made this their home. Tales of the struggle to survive and supremacy of America abound with: French and British wars; pirates and privateers; the promised land of freed slaves; all mixing with the original peoples of this land.
