Dartmouth
From Bedford, Route 7 (the Dartmouth Road) leaves to the southeast along the eastern shore of the Bedford Basin, then climbs Magazine Hill next to the Canadian Forces Magazine and enters Dartmouth on Windmill Road. Through downtown Dartmouth, it is known as Alderney Drive, which turns into Prince Albert Road past Sullivan's Pond as it runs along the shore of Lake Banook. At Grahams Grove Park Route 7 continues through the Micmac Parclo, on to Main Street, past Highway 111 and to the community of Westphal, bypassing most of Cole Harbour to the south.Eastern Shore
Near Preston, Highway 107, a bypass route, begins. Route 7 continues eastward through the African Canadian community of Preston and the exurban communities of Lake Echo, Porters Lake and Head of Chezzetcook to Musquodoboit Harbour, where Highway 107 ends.
Route 7 continues to the east, twisting along several inlets of the Atlantic Ocean through several fishing communities such as Head of Jeddore, Sheet Harbour and Ecum Secum. At Liscomb, Route 7 turns north, away from the ocean, and crosses the St. Mary's River at Sherbrooke. The route follows the east bank of the river through Melrose, Aspen and Lochaber; then continues northeast through Salt Springs to its end at Antigonish.
