Vintage 1960s Nova Scotia Travel Poster – “Little Harbour, Pop. 180” Eastern Shore Tourism Print

Description:
This original 1960s Canadian travel advertisement captures the idyllic charm of Little Harbour, Nova Scotia, in a time before mass tourism — when the population was “180. Except in summer.” Part of a beautifully illustrated campaign promoting Nova Scotia as Canada’s Ocean Playground, this vibrant print showcases a peaceful fishing village, lobster traps on the dock, and the province’s distinctive blue-and-white flag with crest.

The ad is packed with enticing copy describing Nova Scotia’s 4,600 miles of coastline, charming maritime villages like Tangier, Upper Musquodoboit, and Chimney Corner, as well as seaside traditions, golf courses, seafood feasts, and scenic Atlantic views. A classic piece of mid-century tourism ephemera that radiates nostalgic Canadiana.
