Guest Testimonials

Sea Star Cottage is a roomy and spacious home, delightful for a family stay. The internet connection is superior. The shorefront is rocky and while you can't walk it to Carters Beach, the beach is a short drive down the road. It's also an easy walk, if you aren't carrying 'beach supplies'. Carters Beach is truly a gem and the tidal pools warm enough to wade in. While, there is a barbecue it is one of those small, portable Coleman's, that uses small canisters - not a full-size barbecue. Overall, a delightful location and cottage.

Nestled in a beautiful location and only a short walk from Carter's beach (which looks almost tropical). Sea Star Cottage is perfect for honeymooners or a large family. Would definitely recommend it for a relaxing and refreshing vacation!

Description

With a population of under seven hundred people, Lockeport is a small town in a spectacular setting. Settled in the 1700's, the town relies on the fishing industry for its livelihood. Numerous wharves provide plenty of photographic opportunities of working boats as well as a chance to talk to some of the hardy folk that fish on them.

The long stretch of white sand that forms the outer edge of Lockeport's causeway is better known as Crescent Beach. At one end of the beach is the Crescent Beach Centre. With a tourist information center, snack bar, washrooms and gift shop, the Centre is a welcome pit stop during a full day on this lively kid-friendly beach.

Crescent Beach Centre organizes a number of different activities: Beach parties, Sand Scultpure contests, and an annual Sea Derby.

For the history buff - Nova Scotia's only Registered Historic Streetscape is worth investigating. Made up of five houses built by descendants of Jonathan Locke between 1836 and 1876, the houses offer an interesting cross section of historical architecture with excellent examples of Colonial, Georgian and Victorian styles. A walking-tour guidebook is available at the Little School Museum. The museum has in its collection a variety of artifacts relating to early life in the community, a replica of an early school room and a marine room.

If you are coming with children and don't want to spend the whole day on the beach, there is a great playground in the centre of town.
