Sober Island House Details

Surrounding Area: Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada, is a quiet, friendly and well-serviced rural village on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia ten minutes from the home. The area reflects a rich lumbering and fishing history. Magnificent scenic bays and inlets abound where active lobster fishing wharves continue in use today. Guided sea kayaking tours can be found in nearby Tangier with Coastal Adventures. The Liscomb Game Sanctuary, about 25 minutes drive, is the second-largest in the province. This area offers opportunities for canoeing, hiking and fishing.

Sober Island: As well as offering fabulous sea kayaking, Sober Island is a bird watcher's paradise. There are numerous trails, forests, and lanes to explore. Walking for 15 minutes (from the house) on one well maintained trail in particular leads to the exquisitely beautiful Pond Beach, a spectacular pebble beach along the open water. Walking south along the one small road takes one to the trail leading to the Southern most point of the island, another area of breathtaking shoreline beauty. Clam digging, and beach combing for shells, driftwood, stones, and lobster trap floats are wonderful ways to spend an afternoon.

Taylor Head Provincial Park: Extending out 4 miles into the Atlantic Ocean like a great crooked finger, Taylor Head Provincial Park has over 10 miles of unspoiled coastline, secluded white sand beaches, and hiking trails. This rugged shoreline offers many interesting geological formations, a wide variety of biological habitats, and diversity of wildlife. Many visitors regard the Taylor Head Provincial Park's 15 kms of hiking trails to be among the most outstanding coastal trail systems on North America's eastern sea coast. Wildlife viewers will enjoy the occasional sightings of dolphins, seals, and pilot whales along the shoreline of Taylor Head.

Other Activities: Sea Kayaking, Clam digging, hiking
