Guest Testimonials

Harbour Tide House was beautiful, very accurate to the description if not better in person! Location is perfect, big garden and lovely view. Very close to Carter's beach. Would recommend for sure!

Thank you so much for the use of the cottage. I walked in and felt like my dream house had just been real; such a beautiful house in such a beautiful setting. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

We had a fantastic time. Such a relaxing atmosphere and inspiring architecture. Sand Hills Park was a great beach... Nice warm water. Thank you for sharing your cottage!

This was our first visit to Nova Scotia and Castaway Ocean Lodge. It went beyond our wildest dreams! Our first morning we saw a whale in the bay which made it more special. We used the kayaks and boat; did some walking and it was just Fab! We shall be back again 1 week just isn't long enough. We recommend going whale watching at riverton; in Zodiac. We saw a right whale, which was just excellant! Thanks

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.
