With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Pictou, 50 miles away, has to offer. DeCoste Entertainment Centre, Pictou Marina and Pictou Golf and Country Club alone justify the drive. Antigonish is another great option. It’s 55 miles away and has a variety of awesome things to see and do. Antigonish Arena, Antigonish Heritage Museum and Antigonish Mall are just the start.
