With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Guysborough, 17 miles away, has to offer. Port Shoreham Beach Provincial Park, Osprey Shores Golf Resort and Skipping Stone Cafe & Store alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t skip Antigonish either! Just 25 miles away, Antigonish Arena, Antigonish Heritage Museum and Antigonish Mall are non-negotiable stops here.
