Carters Beach could rival any beach in the Caribbean. In fact, when you go, you’ll ask yourself, “is this really Nova Scotia?” The 93-hectare property includes three interconnected beaches with soft white sand, delicate sand dunes, a wooded area, a rocky outcrop, and islands. If the beauty doesn’t take your breath away, the water will. It’s ice cold.

The Bay of Fundy, with a coast shared by Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, has the highest tides in the world. Small and relatively remote, Brier Island sits at the mouth of the bay, on the tip of a thin spit called Digby Neck. Due to its location and natural beauty, Brier Island is one of the top places in Canada to go whale watching. During the spring, you can expect to see fin whales, minke whales and harbour porpoises. In summer, you may see humpback whales and Atlantic white-sided dolphins.
