There are all kinds of travel and cultural opportunities in this region. We suggest you page through this guide and plan one or more day trips to the area. Everything is really quite close by and the possibilities are endless. Personally, I love to hop from one antique shop to the other. There are many in the area. Cape Forchu Light is a must-see.

Birding is a popular outdoor activity in Nova Scotia and some of the best birding destinations in the province are in Shelburne County. The beaches and shoreline around Round Bay and Red Head are a pleasant walk from our cottages. In the spring and summer Piping Plovers can be seen on the beaches; in the fall and late summer migratory sea and shorebirds gather here in large numbers.
