About Lunenburg Waterfront

The scenic Lunenberg Waterfront is lined with a wooden wharf that provides amazing views looking out over Lunenberg Harbour. The wharfs are often lined with a wide variety of boats ranging from cute dories to the famous Bluenose. The waterfront sits in the heart of Old Town Lunenburg. These docks and fisheries, along with the painted houses climbing the hillside, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Mornings are usually quite calm so it's the perfect time to experiment with reflections. Crossing to the far side, or using a drone to get above, gives you the whole town stacked on its hill. Boats tie up along the wharves throughout the season, often ranging from small dories to working draggers to schooners. The historic Bluenose II is based here, though she spends time in other ports throughout the year you may get lucky enough to capture her in her home berth. (You can check the published schedule if you want a guarantee she is in town.) Fog rolls in off the Atlantic and changes the whole waterfront. The wharves are public and free to explore.

Getting there

Super accessible parking all along the waterfront. Even picnic tables to set up on. But come early because this is a heavy touristy area.

Best time to shoot

Late summer (early Sept) when I shot here the water was like glass and no one was around at 630 in the morning on a Thursday.

Gear & settings here

You can shoot this location from the opposite side of the harbour, but its a long way off. Thankfully this is not restricted airspace, so flying a drone is easy enough if you're brave enough to fly over water. Otherwise, bring a long lens for this location.
