Goffs is a Canadian rural community in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality.
Located in the north-central part of Halifax County, Goffs is situated on the Old Guysborough Road (Route 212) immediately east of the Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
The community is home to the 9-hole Airlane Golf Club and the Goffs Volunteer Fire Department, part of the Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency Service. It also has approximately 200 residents living within the boundaries of the community. There has been recent development with new homes in the last decade and the closest body of water is Mud Lake. The community itself has a long history dating back to the early 1900s with limited residents and the Guysborough Baptist Church which was relocated on Goffs Rd. sometime in the mid 60's to make room for the Halifax Stanfield International Airport expansion. The community ethnicity was originally primarily of an African-Canadian descent but has since become a mixed race neighborhood.
