The Lobster Boat Inn

1 site · Lodging3 acres · Antigonish, NS
The Lobster Boat Inn is located on a hill in the woods in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. It sits high and dry with no water in sight. Thus the serial number: NOMOH2O as it will never float again. Our motto is Off the Grid, Off the Water and Off the Beaten Path! The original boat was built in 1995, and when found was in need of some tender-loving care. It was renovated in 2022/23 to provide visitors with a rustic, unique, "glamping" experience. It is filled with lobster-themed items that will send you on an imaginary lobster pot-pulling adventure. Cook on the back deck as you drink in nature, then eat in an original ship's wheelhouse. Our amenities include: comfy beds, fresh drinking-water, refrigerator, interior and exterior bathroom facilities, with a hot shower. If you like, try the lobster eggs for breakfast! Off the property you will find near by: auto race watching, hiking, biking and shopping activities. Downtown Antigonish is but a ten minute drive. The famous Highland Games comes in July along with the Lobster Festival in New Glasgow. Sure, you can sit inside and watch one of the many DVD movies, but why not explore nature, take a walk through the woods, talk to your wife, play with the kids, or throw a ball for your dog? If you want to relax, maybe a visit to one of our 19 Antigonish-area beaches might tickle your fancy. Do you want to golf, mountain bike, fish, visit a lighthouse or a petting farm? We have that too! Take a drive on our new 4-lane Hwy 104 and you'll be blown away at how beautiful asphalt can be. Wide-open highways make for smooth, fast, travel to places like The Cabot Trail or the ferry to PEI. Both are within an hour's drive. Stargazing is wondrous through our dark, clear skies. If you're lucky, you might even spot the Space Station passing by, as you sit at the fire-pit roasting marshmallows after a long day of fun.

The best camping near Bayfield Beach Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Bayfield Beach Provincial Park beckons with its serene sand and pebble shores, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of St. Georges Bay. Here, adventure awaits as supervised swimming areas offer a refreshing escape on summer weekends. Venture along the coastline, where the rhythmic lapping of waves sets a peaceful backdrop for sunbathing, picnicking, and beachcombing. Although camping is not directly mentioned, the park's natural allure makes it a perfect day-trip destination.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Bayfield Beach Provincial Park is during the warm summer months, from June to August, when the beach is supervised and the Atlantic waters invite for a swim. Off-season visits can offer solitude but come with cooler temperatures and unsupervised waters, making swimming less advisable.

Know before you go

  • Check the local weather forecast before planning your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Beach supervision is available on weekends, enhancing safety for swimmers.
  • Parking is available close to the beach, making access convenient for families and individuals with mobility concerns.
  • Remember to pack sunscreen, water, and a hat to protect against the summer sun.
  • Keep an eye out for local wildlife and respect their natural habitat while exploring.
