Sightseeing
Hirtle's Beach is one of the best beaches to visit on the South Shore. Little bit tricky to find, but its worth it. Wild 1.5 kms of beach with surfing. Bring picnic, drinks, & snacks no food there.

These guys are organized and do great day and half day trips out of Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, and Hubbards. Sea Kayakings, cycling, they are really great.
