Today, Chester is known for its picturesque harbour, beautiful beaches, and historic architecture.

In the mid 19th century, fishermen raced each other from the Chester shoreline to markets in Halifax and New England. Since the 1970s, the Chester Yacht Club has hosted Chester Race Week in celebration of yacht racing traditions.
