We are a unique rural community with a lot to see and do. Our Municipality offers you lighthouses, rugged coast line, white sand beaches, fishing villages with colorful boats and friendly people who like to chat with visitors. You can bicycle our rural roads, walk our various walking trails, go fishing in our lakes and rivers, paddle in the ocean or sit back and do some bird watching. For the golfer we have a beautiful 18 hole golf course in Clyde River. In Birchtown you can visit the first freed black settlement in North America. In Sandy Point each day when the tide is low you can walk to the lighthouse, then stop at the Community Centre and have some refreshments. Come visit us in June and join the Lobster Festival weekend and our Founder’s Day weekend which is in July . It provides great family entertainment.
