Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, which is located right in the middle of the world's largest lobster fishing grounds and is also home to the largest fishing fleet in Atlantic Canada, was originally home to the Mi'kmaq people. Around the mid-17th century, the first Europeans, namely the Acadians, came to the area and started a small fishing settlement. They were followed by New England planters from Massachusetts who founded Yarmouth in 1761 when they named the town for Yarmouth, Massachusetts. More from this guide...

Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all Yarmouth, NS discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest Yarmouth hotel for each day and each star rating category.

During the 19th century, Yarmouth developed into an important shipbuilding center, and its ships could be found in all the major ports of the world. However, as wooden shipbuilding went on the decline by the end of the 19th century, shipbuilders started to invest their money in factories, railways, and iron-hulled steamships.

Today, the small town of Yarmouth, which features a population of around 6,500 people, serves as a port and a shopping and service center for southwestern Nova Scotia. The town boasts a rich cultural heritage, constituted of Mi'kmaq, Acadian, and Gaelic influences, which can be traced in the food, music, and languages of the people in the area. The architecture of the town includes sea captain homes that were built in the 19th century, lofty churches such as the Musee Eglise Sainte-Marie — the largest wooden church in North America — and the famous Cape Forchu Lighthouse.

The area also features several major rivers and over 364 lakes, as well as trails, parks, and beaches where visitors can immerse themselves in the great outdoors. Tourists can also enjoy local festivals, excellent restaurants, art galleries, boat trips, and museums.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Yarmouth, NS?

Despite the fact that Yarmouth is on the coast, it features a humid continental, rather than a maritime, climate. However, the winter and summer temperature extremes that are typical of continental weather are moderated by the ocean, with temperatures typically ranging from an average low of about 27.4 degrees Fahrenheit in February to an average high of 63.3 degrees in July and August. In general, temperatures seldom drop below 9 degrees or exceed 75 degrees. The area features rain throughout the year, with the highest rainfall taking place from October through February. The months that are the driest are May, July, and September.

If you want to make use of the beautiful trails, parks, and waters of the area, the best time to visit Yarmouth is from early July to early September when the average temperature ranges from 63.3 degrees in July to 58.9 degrees in September. During these months visitors can enjoy a wealth of festivals and events, such as the Maritime Festival that takes place in early September along the historic South Quay of Yarmouth and features street theater, folk music, arts and crafts, and lots of free activities.

As the temperatures are a bit higher during these months, this is the most humid period of the year in Yarmouth. These are also the months that see the most tourists, which means that hotel accommodation prices are at their peak — you may need to book in advance to secure lodging.

The winter months in Yarmouth are cold and rainy, with temperatures ranging from an average of 34.6 degrees in December to 27.4 degrees in February. With the winter months also comes snowfall and stronger winds, which, together with the rain and lower temperatures, make for rather unpleasant weather. However, as these months are also the least popular with tourists, you are bound to find excellent accommodation rates during this time.

Tourism is also slow during the fall, that is, late September through November, so prices are also attractive during this period. Although temperatures start falling during this time, ranging from around 50 to 60 degrees, these months are not so rainy and windy, so you may want to visit the area then.
