Hike

Gaff Point — Arguably Nova Scotia’s most spectacular hike. From Hirtle’s Beach, head right and walk to the end of the beach. At high tide, you’ll walk the bluff to get there. At the end of the beach, the trail begins through the woods and takes you on a loop the whole way around the point. If you’re lucky, you’ll find the secret beach where you can repel down to your private oasis.

Beach

Hirtle’s Beach – that’s what you’re looking at. There’s usually great surf to watch through the window or from the Adirondack chairs.
