This fine harbour is a popular port of call for yachts crusing the east coast of North America. It sits towards the southern tip of Nova Scotia, about 150NM SW of Halifax.

There is a marina run by the yacht club at the head of the harbour. Anchoring out of the channels is free and the marina showers can be used for a small fee.
