Tangier is a small rural community on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, in the Halifax Regional Municipality, approximately 23 kilometres (14 mi) west of Sheet Harbour, on Trunk 7. Tangier has a church and several private fishing wharfs. Trunk 7 runs through the community, as well as the Marine Drive. There are also a number of other minor roads, both paved and unpaved.
The name is most likely taken from the shipwreck of the schooner Tangier in 1830.[1]
