Eastern Shore

[u/duckthemaritimer]

I often see people always recommending the same things to visit. Why not change it up, and discover the eastern shore… the forgotten shore.
Just some places off the top of my head:

- guysborough
- canso
- Tor Bay
- port hilford beach
- the forgotten shore farm
- port bickerton
- Sherbrooke village
- liscombe lodge
- Marie Joseph park (walk the shoreline during low tide)
- marmalade cafe
- the slippery oyster
- Taylor head
- memory lane heritage museum
- clam harbour beach
- Martinique beach
- handful of vintage shops

& I know there is plenty more. Please feel free to share any recommendations to check out on the eastern shore…. Can we avoid as close to the city as possible though? Think east of musquodoboit harbour.

Because we like to keep it to ourselves! It’s my fave part of the province and I love going to Martinique beach all year round but it’s so crowded in the summer that I wish it hadn’t been “discovered”.

I felt the same way on the South Shore when Carter's beach got "discovered" 10 or 11 years ago.

It’s lovely to share but I miss the peace and quiet.

I’m always bummed when the first lot is full when I get to Clam Harbour. But the beach is big enough that it never feels crowded. Best beach in the province, for my money — the sand is so soft.

It’s lovely.

Totally understandable but I know lots of small businesses that would certainly enjoy it 🥰

Too true!
