Description
An afternoon stroll along Halifax's Waterfront Boardwalk, said to be the world's longest, is a walk through the port city's warm and beating heart. Shops, restaurants, and historic buildings line the waterfront, and the area is crowded with a colorful mix of pedestrian and maritime traffic. The boardwalk winds through parks and open-air plazas and provides access to a number of museums and historic sites, such as Pier 21, the historic point of entry for countless immigrants to Canada.
