Small yet awesome beach on shore club road in Hubbards. Access is private and requires a fee per car (10$ I believe), but it's worth the fee to enjoy some of the benefits. It's short walk back up the access road to grab a bite at the canteen that offers an extensive menu, and amazing ice cream!
Oh!, and it's currently the main shooting location of the series "Moonshine".

Halifax Activities & food /drink
Some things to do and places to go in Halifax! I've listed a few of the local breweries since I'm somewhat of a fan of local beers, and a few of my favourite restaurants 😁
If you're not familiar with Halifax already, head to the Waterfront for a stroll along the waterfront. So many shops, food stalls, restaurants, historical sights, and museums.

hiking trails
I recommend downloading the free version of the AllTrails app. The maps are quite accurate, and can show you hard to find connectors. There are some trails near the cottage that are not on the map, and I am happy to give you direction. The trail closest to the cottage is not listed, and a bit more challenging as the terrain is a bit rough. I am happy to give you direction.
Castle Rock
Chester Connection TrailTrail is located a 5 minute drive from the cottage.
