Ballantyne’s Cove

A lovely drive from Antigonish is along HWY 337. Pass rolling farmland with so many shades of green and tantalizing views of the ocean as you pass Mahoney’ Beach. As you approach Ballantyne’s Cove there is a lookout on your right.

The Fish ‘N Ships kiosk opened for the summer and the feast of fish and chips was delicious.  A great selection of ice cream also available.  We took our plates over to the pebble beach behind the Tuna Interpretive Centre.  Such a beautiful peaceful spot. Just one other person on the beach.

Great place for a beach walk looking for colorful pebbles, or a paddle or a swim. I recommend beach shoes for the pebbles.
