Best Kept Seacret

1 site · Lodging10 acres · East Port Medway, NS

A prospector tent with queen sized bed just set back from the ocean. A great place to launch a kayak from or a cozy sleep 10 mins away from good surf. There’s also unserviced camping area and a shady place to park a can or small RV. We operate it from the website as a bed and breakfast, but will book (at a discount, obvs) as a room with no food service off of hipcamp.

FORT NOVA

10 sites · RVs, Tents127 acres · Jordan Falls, NS

Oh. My. Gawd. Where to start?! This is one of the original properties for the area. Owned by one lovely family since the 1700's until your current (very lucky) host. The house was the post office from 1861 to 1961. One of the rooms was the hospice for the area... SPOOOOOKY!!! There is a culvert from the 1700's on the property from where the province moved the highway sometime before the 40's. Reggie took over ownership in 2020 and is keeping things as original as possible, but adding his touch, like his battle axe travel trailer, Franny, makes her home in the driveway, but of course. She's worth a visit! - TENT ADVANCED LEVEL LAKESIDE is by far the most beautiful, however it is a small area, and on the edge of the property and I can't be responsible for neighbours to a point. Learn more about this land: Fort Nova is your home for as long as you choose. Let's get campy! You can pick from the lawn, living amongst the pines, a forrest clearing, or even the lake side peninsula. Complete privacy, and y'all can hit me up in the house if you need anything. On the property there is: - A decent sized lake - 1700's abandon bridge - Lots of foraging So many things bloody things to do nearby: - The ocean is right across the street. - Oasis Fish and Chips (Also right across the street!) - Beech Street Kitchen (in Lockeport) - Barrington (Lobster capital of the world, UFO capital of Canada) - Brooklyn (Hank Snow's hometown) - Rail Trail (runs through the property) - Provincial Parks - Boxing Rock Brewing Co.

Kayaker’s Island Cabin

1 site · Lodging4 acres · Yarmouth, NS

Outer Sheep island is approximately 25 acres in the confines of Lobster Bay, between Pubnico and Wedgeport. It’s near the Tusket Islands. The wharf on Surette’s Island is a 25 minute from Tusket. Mi’kmaq would have lived and hunted in this area. Then the Acadians set up homesteads. And more recently it was the site of several lobster and tuna fishing shanties. Don’t be surprised to find a piece of old cast iron stove deep in the forest. Surette’s Island is an Acadian fishing community. Babe Ruth used to come to this area, including Surette’s Island, to hunt. The water between Outer Sheep Island and Surette’s Island is called The Tittle. It’s known for powerful tides. So it’s best to time your kayaking with the tide in mind. The Surette’s Island wharf is at the end of Chemin du Tittle Road. Learn more about this land: Kayakers’ paradise. Island cabin. Easy landing sites. One double bed, two single bunk beds. Cook on wood stove. Bedding (sheets, pillows, duvets). Water for kitchen dishwashing is rainwater from the roof. You can use the filter to make drinking water or bring your own drinking water. No hot water unless you heat it yourself on the wood stove. One towel per guest. Cutlery, dishes, pots and pans. Keep yourself warm with the wood stove on chilly days and nights. Cabin is not winterized. Sliding patio door looks out to the ocean. No fridge. Lighting and phone charger is solar powered. Clean outhouse. Plenty of islands surround for day trips. Park at public wharf for a short kayak to the site. Paddlers should be mindful of tides. Easiest to arrive at the cabin from the wharf when the tide is rising (coming in) or flat. Picture yourself here - cooking on a Lunenburg foundry wood stove, in an 19th century lobster fishermen’s shanty on an uninhabited island. Exploring nearby islands, you’ll find remnants of abandoned Acadian homesteads - old foundations, overgrown orchards, rock walls, wells, bridges, old breakwaters and wharves. There are also many places to explore on Outer Sheep Island. You’re likely to see great blue herons in the summertime, owls, eagles, hummingbirds and lots of species of sparrow, warblers, and finch. Wonderful place for mushrooms. You’ll see old Acadian forest and find an old well and sheep paths. Great places to swim all around the island.
