Welcome to Eastern Passage Online
... Cow Bay and Shearwater too.
Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia is a mid-sized community on the Eastern Shore. It is a part of the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, and lies along the Atlantic Ocean, at the eastern side of the mouth of Halifax Harbour. Historically, fishing was the main source of income for the community, but now most of its inhabitants commute to Downtown Halifax or Dartmouth , or work in the community at typical jobs.
The first European settlers who moved there were mainly German, French, Irish and English. These ethnic groups are what continue to make up the population of Eastern Passage. Prior to the European settlers however, Eastern Passage was Mi'kmaq territory for thousands of years. Europeans began arriving in 1700 and the Mi'kmaq, who lived throughout the land, were moved mainly to McNab's island.
In 1996, Fisherman's Cove, which combined a restored and working fishing village with gift shops and restaurants, opened as a tourist attraction.
