Although sometimes, they do not seem to have any etiquette when pulling up to the beaches on the island. The take the whole beach, so no one else can access the shoreline. It is a heck of a lot easier to move a Kayak than to manoeuvre a boat. I have personally seen this on numerous occassions. If East Coast Outfitters is reading this, please remember, some people lived here long before you started your business here. Please respect this, so everyone can enjoy the great outdoors, share the beach line, don't hog!

The LaHave Islands are an ideal place to paddle with lots of good and sheltered areas to explore. Our guide was stellar (and funny!) and full of good local lore to share. Can't recommend it enough and would def come back and even do a longer trip.

Sarah also led a yoga practice on one of the islands at the 1/2 way point of the trip which was a super unique experience. Local baked goods and fruit were provided as a snack. Highly recommend this experience as part of your visit to the South Shore.

I was on Quinpool yesterday when I realized it had been over a year since I'd been into The Trail…read moreShop. Well, I had to fix that mistake! I stuck to the main floor with the clothes, though they do have a second floor with bigger items like tents. I love the set up of the store, though it doesn't seem very friendly for folks who aren't able-bodied with the stairs right at the front entrance. Not super great. The product selection is pretty good, with tons of backpacks and water bottles greeting you as you walk up the stairs to the main floor. The clothing is split between men and women and they seemed to have some pretty decent sales going on. Not going to lie though, I was drawn to the huge selection of socks. A bit weird? Maybe. But there's something so wonderful about a great pair of socks, y'know? Anyway, the Trail Shop is a great independently owned sporting good stores, and if you're in the area I highly recommend checking it out. The staff are friendly and happy to help if you have questions, or to leave you alone if you just want to look around.

All you need to do is assign a waiver and give them your ID and when you come back they will return everything to you. They are absolutely kind hearted and lovely people and willing to help out if you've never done it. Even if you have canoed before, they are super helpful with wind tips! They also have paddle boarding, paddle nights and a slew of other activities (kayaking is a different day and there is a small fee). I'd recommend this to anyone, I've seen young children on paddle boards and siblings canoeing alone - unless you're acting a fool it's definitely a safe environment! The view is absolute stunning - a great way to relax!

I just discovered the weekly Wednesday evening paddle, where, for just $10, anyone can enjoy an evening exploring the waters of the Northwest Arm. The program only runs until the end of September, but will start again in spring when - hopefully - the troublesome pollution issues in the harbour will be resolved. The kayaking staff are really friendly, knowledgeable, and safety-conscious and offer beginners a full instruction session before letting them loose on the water! St. Mary's also has three asphalt tennis courts and a lawn-bowling facitlity, in addition to the clubhouse itself, which can be rented for banquets, receptions and other events.
