Tips and Trips for Your Eastern Shore Stay
Sightseeing
For a nice walk with lakeside views, the rail trail is broad and graveled for walking and biking. Suitable for all skills.
For more hiking and great views, we love the Admiral Lake Loop. Search their website for trail information, wear good shoes, and be prepared to take some amazing photos at the outlooks! https://www.mta-ns.ca/

Lots to do and see in the Harbour, especially in summer! The Farmer's market runs on Sundays 10-2pm (times flex with season) outside the Train station museum. Check out the food trucks, the Whistle Stop for artisan shopping, and the Sober Island Beer Garden, often with live music. A local microbrewer, The Harbour, is just down the road.

Walk a shimmering sand beach for 5km and hear nothing but the wind and surf. Watch the surfers (and kite surfers) or connect with the Halifax Surf School (https://www.halifaxsurfschool.com/) ahead of time to get outfitted and/or some instruction. A favourite personal addition is to stop at Uprooted Market and Cafe (https://www.uprootedmarketcafe.ca/) in the Harbour first, for a fresh-made sandwich to-go for a delicious beach picnic.

Just past the turn off to our location on Ostrea Lake Rd you'll find great amenities at the Head of Jeddore. Up the hill from the bowling alley is the local Sobey's grocery, NSLC, Home Hardware, and Paul's Variety (Paul-mart; they have everything!). AND the Old-Number-7 Restaurant and Bar. Slightly further up the road yet is a gas station.
