East Hants has three unofficial regions: the Corridor, Central and Fundy Shore, and Uniacke and Rawdon. The Corridor is located in the southeastern portion of the Municipality. This region includes the communities of Enfield, Elmsdale, Lantz, Milford and Shubenacadie, and is the most urbanized part of the Municipality. The Fundy Shore and Central region is driven by tides, tourism and breathtaking views, making it the heart of adventure and relaxation in Nova Scotia.
