ABOUT
Just minutes off Hwy 103 in Tantallon, Shining Waters Marine welcomes you to a rural setting within 30 minutes of Halifax where you can ‘get away from it all”. Known for its sandy beaches with relatively warm surface water and ideal conditions for recreational watercraft, it is a paradise for getting out and enjoying water activities. With over 30 islands over its 70 square km, the Bay invites you to explore its inlets and more than 20 named beaches, some of which are only accessible from the water. Near the outer limits of the Bay, experience the rugged world of famous Peggy’s Cove or, near the head of the Bay, see spectacular homes only visible from the water. Seals, eagles, porpoises, sea birds and even the occasional whale may greet you on your adventure. Cruise and dine? Scoot over to Hubbards and access public docks to enjoy the fine cuisine of Tuna Blue or the famous Shore Club lobster suppers. Or, pick up a lunch or pizza before you arrive and enjoy a picnic lunch. Fishing, swimming, tubing, dining, picnics or just chilling – these are hassle-free memory making experiences you and your friends and family won’t want to miss!
