Victoria Beach is a small community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, 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 eight metre tall 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]
