Welcome to

Nova Scotia

Sketch Harbour, Nova Scotia, established in 1749.1 (1 day after Ketch Harbour, Nova Scotia), a foggy/spooky little coastal harbour community on the treacherous edge of the North Atlantic, 30 mins from North End Halifax, which might as well be the middle of nowhere.

Presented here are official photographs from the Sketch Harbour Department of Tourism & Social Club.

These scenes, real & surreal, are love letters dedicated to a Mystical Nova Scotia anchorage.

Local attractions include:

  • The Sketch Harbour Department of Tourism & Social Club
  • Pork Ave
  • Sunset
  • The Undertow
  • Handsome Old Greg – lead carpenter, occasional clown
  • “Whitecap Lookout” / “Jumpsuit Point”
  • The Freee-aaaky Garden
  • Raccoon Boy
  • Dorothy’s (R.I.P.) house & yard
  • Parson’s Treasure Lawn
  • “Skid-Mark Alley”
  • Garbage collection on Friday morning before 7 am

The Sketch Harbour Department of Tourism & Social Club would like to remind you that there’s something in the water & perhaps, please don’t come here.
