A beautiful coastal village located in the Municipality of Clare, an Acadian region in Nova Scotia.
Home of Atlantic Canada's largest motorcycle rally with well over 20,000 bikes
Digby Water Street is home of The Wharf Rat Rally. It was originally conceived as a free event bringing together riders of all types in a family-friendly environment. It begins the Wednesday prior to Labour Day Weekend and continues for five action-packed days. The event was co-founded by Alex Joannides and Peter Robertson in 2005 and saw just a small gathering of motorcycles meet in Digby. From there, the Wharf Rat Rally has continued to grow, attracting bigger names and more bikes and people. It is now comprised of over 30 smaller events with entertainers and builders brought in from near and far. As they enjoy music and vendors, rides and stunters, all visitors whether they’re on a motorcycle or not, are encouraged to register to help guarantee future rallies. The heart of the rally is the central core of the Town of Digby which offers both a central meeting place and access to the Bay of Fundy on the Digby Wharf. Events take advantage of both the streetscape and the water and include music, vendors, raffles, watersport demonstrations, and guided tours.
Belliveau Cove lies at the heart of the Municipality of Clare, the largest Acadian community in Nova Scotia where French remains the first language for many residents. This picturesque harbour on the Bay of Fundy's French Shore offers a window into a culture that has thrived here since Joseph and Marie Dugas became the first Acadian couple to settle the area in 1768. Their legacy lives on in the municipal park that bears their name, featuring a wharf, lighthouse, and nature trail along the scenic shoreline.
The Bay of Fundy's legendary tides—among the highest in the world—transform the cove twice daily. When the water recedes, locals head to the exposed seabed for clamming, a tradition passed down through generations. The working wharf remains home to a lobster fishing fleet, carrying on the Maritime heritage that defines this coast. Shorebirds flock to the mudflats during migration, and seals are a common sight bobbing in the waters offshore.
Visitors can experience authentic Acadian hospitality at the Saturday Farmer's Market (May through October) or join the beloved "Beaux Vendredis" suppers on summer Friday evenings, where locals and visitors gather to feast on fresh lobster and clams. Nearby, the Rendez-vous de la Baie cultural centre celebrates Acadian art and history, while a short drive brings you to Église Sainte-Marie in Church Point—the tallest wooden church in North America. Whether you're savouring traditional rappie pie, exploring the Evangeline Trail, or simply watching the tides reveal the ocean floor, Belliveau Cove delivers an unforgettable taste of Acadian Nova Scotia.
