Victoria Beach in Nova Scotia
Victoria Beach is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Annapolis County. It is on the shore of Digby Gut, a narrow channel connecting the Bay of Fundy with the Annapolis Basin.[1]
In 1849, it was the western terminus of Nova Scotia pony express, and a federal plaque in the community commemorates it.[2]
The heritage lighthouse at Battery Point is an 8-metre-tall (26 ft) wooden structure with octagonal iron lantern and was built in 1901. [3]
The area was labelled as Andromeda on a 1609 map by Marc Lescarbot, but was renamed for Queen Victoria following her silver jubilee in 1862.[4][5][6]
