these less-travelled but oh-so-interesting shores. Hunker
down at the Tignish Heritage Inn and Gardens, a restored
convent next to a church built in 1860, which features an 1882
tracker-action pipe organ. Using this inn as home base, you
can take day trips to explore side roads in the region.
One such road will lead you to Skinners Pond and a
stunning secluded beach that stretches as far as you can see.
Should you venture to Sea Cow Bay, you might see part of the
Brennan family harvesting moss the old-fashioned way along
the beach with their horse, King. Or perhaps you’ll end up at
the wharves where the fishermen’s colourful buoys provide a
feast for the eyes.
Eventually, you’ll reach the end of the road at North Cape
where a visitor’s centre showcases fascinating interpretive
panels depicting the wind and the efforts to harness its power.
Back outside, be sure to slip behind the building and towards
the shore to view an astounding collection of inuksuit that
people make every year. It’s an eye-popper—and you can add
to the collection by making your very own!
