Shag Harbour Wharf
Last Update March 3, 2005
Shag Harbour, getting its name from the numerous cormorants or "shags" often sited in the harbour, is located along the coast of the Lighthouse Route. Located nearby in this picturesque fishing village is Bon Portage General Store where you can get groceries, information or relax on the deck with a snack before paddling through the harbour channel.
Good contacts for information in the area are Lee and Carlene Adams: (902) 723-2899. Lee and Carlene welcome kayakers to tent in their yard for $10.00 per night and they live right in Shag Harbour. They are willing to be of assistance to pick up or drop off kayaks at the wharf if you are tenting at their home.
Shand's Look Off Bed and Breakfast is located near the Shag Harbour Government Wharf and welcome paddlers to stay at their B&B. Christine and Philip will pick up or drop off paddlers from the wharf if you are staying at their B&B.
