About Chester
The town
Chester is a coastal village on Nova Scotia's South Shore, settled in 1759, with about 1,400 people in its built-up area in 2021. It is the centre of the Municipality of the District of Chester (about 10,700 people), which runs from Hubbards to Martins River and inland to New Ross. The municipality handles planning and building permits for the village and the countryside around it. The Chester Playhouse is a local arts venue, and a passenger ferry leaves the village year-round for Big and Little Tancook islands. The nearest full hospital is South Shore Regional in Bridgewater, with a 24-hour emergency department.
Around it
The municipality owns four small islands just off Chester (Big Fish, Clay, Marrs and Round Island Nubble) and keeps them in their natural state for public visits. The Chester Connection Trail, 35 km on the old rail bed from Martins River to East River, is open to walkers, cyclists, riders and registered off-highway vehicles, and it is part of the Rum Runners Trail between Halifax and Lunenburg. Graves Island Provincial Park in East Chester has camping and a boat launch on Mahone Bay, though it is closed in 2026 for causeway construction. Highway 103 runs past Chester between Halifax and Bridgewater, and Halifax Stanfield is the nearest airport with scheduled flights.
