Nearby things to do
Nova Scotia is known for its white sand beaches and hiking trails — these are the must do spots that are only minutes away from the Shore House.
At the end of Hirtle’s Beach is Gaff Point Trail where forest meets Atlantic Ocean — people come from all over the province to hike this spectacular 7km loop. From Hirtle’s Beach, head right and walk to the end of the beach. Plan your start around low tide so you can walk the sand instead of rocks. Look out for the secret beach accessed via rope — it’s unmarked but easy to find.
