Activities

To help you make the most of your visit, the Innkeepers will do everything from packing picnic lunches for a day of beach combing or fishing to arranging canoeing, biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing excursions. Golf packages are also available.

Swimming

Nestled in a secluded cove of Shemogue Harbour, the Inn boasts a private beach for sunbathing or swimming in the warm waters of the Northumberland Strait.

Enjoy Atlantic sea water year 'round in our Salt Water (right from the bay!) Hot Tub!

Birdwatching

The area offers outstanding birdwatching opportunities for everything from shorebirds to songbirds. Nearby Port Elgin, Baie Verte and the award-winning Sackville Waterfowl Park are excellent sites for viewing rare marshland species. The coastal area from Shédiac to Cape Jourimain is a prime migration route for a variety of waterfowl and the Amherst Point Bird Sanctuary hosts breeding Osprey and Willets.

Catamaran Adventure

Take a self-guided tour down to Little Shemogue Oyster Farm or along the sheltered harbour to their private beach. Call ahead to book. Enjoy a three or four-course meal in the inn's fully-licensed dining room at the end of the day.
