A nice place
to buy
a crummy
t-shirt
Whenever I travel somewhere I'm obligated to bring back crummy t-shirts, refrigerator magnets and other useless trinkets. I'm not big on shopping so this task becomes tedious and onerous at best.
To make matters worse, most souvenir shops are boring and tacky. Fortunately Maine Heritage is an exception.
Sure it's filled with crummy t-shirts, refrigerator magnets, post cards and a plethora of stupid and tacky items. But it does have some interesting jewelry, books, and rather cool and useful clothing.
The best part is that it is one large room which means you can move around without bumping into other people looking for crummy souvenirs. Plus it has some nice decorations and nautical things to look at .
The store is located right on the boardwalk which makes it very convenient and has great views of the water, islands and ships. Just a short walk to get to the maritime museum or other cool things.
Sure the Marine Heritage Store is a touristy place filled with touristy stuff. But if you need to get some crummy t-shirts or other touristy items it might as well be in a store with a cool water view.

A wooden encased tourist trap.
This is a rather large waterfront gift shop with all the memorabilia a tourist could dream of. Nova Scotia emblems and provincial inspired tokens are printed on t-shirts, hoodies, magnets, books, mugs, pens, umbrellas... and everything else under the sun.
If you are a visitor looking for the most Nova Scotia obvious gift to remember your time, Marine Heritage is a spot that offers wide range. With lots of room to browse, and an endless selection of random things, you are sure to find something.
I have no purpose popping into this spot again, as the idea of having all my things stamped Halifax doesn't turn my crank. -

Every tourist item is here. It is full to the brim here with everything, t-shirts,
hats, gadgets and lots of room to look.
Located along the waterfront Marine Heritage is a great place to go for your Halifax Souvenirs.
