How to get to Marie Joseph Provincial Park
The park sits directly on Highway 7 (Marine Drive) on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore. From Halifax it is roughly a 2 to 2.5 hour drive east via Highway 7, and from Antigonish it is about 1.5 hours southwest via Highways 7 and 16. Highway 7 is a two-lane coastal road with winding sections, narrow shoulders, and small bridges, so RV drivers should plan for slower travel times and watch for logging trucks. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ).
