Located near Barrington (the lobster capital of Nova Scotia) this beautiful, renovated guesthouse is situated in Clarks Harbour on Cape Sable Island. The island is pristine, with wide beaches, blue, clear water and fresh, ocean air. Clarks Harbour is on the famous Lighthouse Route that meanders the South Shore of the province. The Lighthouse Route starts in Halifax and ends in Yarmouth, covering a 585 km scenic coastal drive along Nova Scotia's South Shore. The Lighthouse Route ends, appropriately, at one of Nova Scotia's most dramatic and historically significant lighthouses in Yarmouth. The Yarmouth Light stands on the rocky point of Cape Forchu, named by Samuel de Champlain in 1604. Quiet and secluded, The East Wind Guesthouse is an ideal spot to stay along the route. The two story, Cape Cod style home, is original to the island and has been restored to a modern, dream guesthouse. Gorgeous, open plan interiors with large kitchen, living and dining and bath/laundry on main floor. The second floor features two cozy bedrooms, lounge and large queen suite overlooking the ocean and harbour. Join me for happy hour on the Catio between 4-6 PM. Light meals, snacks, beer and wine available. Or book a full dining experience - call or message for details.

About me: I love my cat Oliver, cooking and hosting guests, gardening, reading and travelling. I'm an inveterate explorer too and manage my travel company in India where I spend my winters. Let me help you get the most out of your visit - I can recommend top sites in Nova Scotia, off-the-beaten-track experiences and plan a personal trip to suit your timing and interests.

Stay the night and enjoy the peaceful ocean surroundings - endless beaches await for walking, bird watching or collecting beach glass. Nearby activities are surfing  at uncrowded "secret" spots, wineries, kayaking, whale watching or exploring the historic heritage of the South Shore. Take a day trip to Shelburne, Yarmouth, Digby, Anapolis Royal or Unesco site, Lunenburg. The Acadian historic site and museum in Pubnico documents inhabitation since 1653 - the oldest in Canada.
