Guest Testimonials

What a fabulous week we've had!!! Wonderful water - such a lovely spacious cozy home. Castaway Ocean Lodge has a view to die for. We loved Shelburne and Lockeport too; very quaint with lovely old house and so quiet and unspoiled.

Lovely beach, lots of fog but never stopped us from doing what we wanted. The people are very friendly. We'll be back again some day. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

Can't remember a vacation where we were less ready or willing to pack up and go home! This is a fabulous cottage and a truly beautiful setting. We have been so comfortable and happy here. Although we have lived a total of more than 60 years in Nova Scotia, we had never truly appreciated the beauty and variety of this part of the South Shore before. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely summer home.

The house is beautiful and comfortable. We have especially enjoyed the seals on the rocks. Thanks so much for having good binoculars for us to use. On the first morning we went for a walk and were excited to come across a couple of deer and their young ones.

Description

This is the second oldest lighthouse tower in Nova Scotia. The lantern and lens were removed from the lighthouse in 1978; they are now on top of the Seal Island Lighthouse Museum in Barrington. The museum is operated by the Cape Sable Historical Society.

The lighthouse is still maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard. The lighthouse is on the Doomsday List of the Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society; the surrounding land is under threat by real estate investors who have already bought half the island and threaten access.

Directions: Seal Island is accessible by boat only. The Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society hosts a guided trip each September. This two-day trip includes a two-hour cruise on a Cape Island boat to the remote island. Explore the rocky coastline, learn the romantic story of the establishment of the light station, and stay overnight in the fisherman's bunkhouse.

For more information email the NSLPS. If you are interested in visiting the island, contact them and they can arrange a trip for you.
