Shelburne, Port town in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia, Canada
The town extends along a natural harbor with a waterfront featuring multiple docks, fishing vessels, and maritime facilities beside historic buildings.
Following the American Revolution in 1783, approximately 5,000 Loyalists established a settlement in Shelburne Harbor, creating a new community.
The Black Loyalist Heritage Centre documents North America's largest free Black settlement of the 1780s through exhibits and educational programs.
Visitors can access the town via Highway 103, with local accommodations ranging from bed and breakfasts to waterfront hotels throughout the year.
The historic Dock Street maintains its 18th-century appearance, making it a frequent location for period film productions and television series.
