Prospect, Nova Scotia


Prospect is a Canadian coastal community on the Chebucto Peninsula in Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada.
It borders the Atlantic Ocean approximately southwest of Halifax off the Prospect Road.
During the American Revolution, fishermen at Prospect captured an American Privateer and 23 crew members.
In 2003, the town was hit by the eye of Hurricane Juan. Wind damage was substantial and storm surge washed away many wharfs and stages, but no homes. The area suffered significant land erosion due to the impact.
