Named in honour of sir Robert Digby, Captain of the HMS Atlanta, Digby was founded in 1783. In the 1890s, the Dominion Atlantic Railway arrived, transforming Digby into a thriving transportation focal point, as steamships arrived, including the City of Monticello and then the SS Princess Helene. Digby is a shire town, known for its famous local scallops and tall tides, reaching 10.7 m (35 ft.), among the highest in the world. The fish and lumber industries are most prominent in Digby.

Tourists flock to Digby for its fishing, whale watching, the Admiral Digby Museum, and the annual Scallop Days Festival. As well, the Wharf Rat Rally, an annual motorcycle festival, is a weekend of fun for those interested in riding. Fishermen and Soldiers Memorials give Digby a distinguished, historical appeal. Digby's rich history also offers tourists a plethora of attractions, and its scenery is one of a kind.

Highway 101 and the ferry, M/V Princess of Acadia, a service leading to and from Saint John, New Brunswick, are two primary choices of travel to Digby.

Located 228 km (141.6 mi.) from Halifax, Digby accommodations include motels, inns, and bed and breakfasts.

Our Digby bed and breakfast is a 3 minute walk from Admiral Digby Museum and Dockside Whale Watching and Charter Service. It features a hot daily breakfast, barbecue facilities and rooms with free Wi-Fi. A mini-fridge are provided in each unique room at the bed and breakfast.
