With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Antigonish, 55 miles away, has to offer. Antigonish Arena ought to be high up on your list here. Antigonish Heritage Museum and Antigonish Mall are awesome attractions too. Don’t skip Pictou either! Just 55 miles away, DeCoste Entertainment Centre, Pictou Marina and Pictou Golf and Country Club are essential stops here.
