Overview
3About Chester, NS
Chester's an easy hour down Highway 103 from Halifax, or grab the coast road from Mahone Bay (29 km) or Lunenburg (40 km) for a shorter day trip. Bridgewater and Windsor are both under 50 km too, handy for locals running around the South Shore. Flying in means landing at Stanfield, 85 km out, then following 103 straight down. There's EV charging along the highway corridor if you need it. Worth timing your visit for August, when Chester Race Week fills Mahone Bay with sailboats for one of the biggest regattas east of Montreal.
