Port Hood offers visitors activities on and off the water from sunrise to sunset.
So, take a charter and enjoy the beautiful views of the amazing marine life giving you the opportunity to photograph whales, birds, and seals. Want to experience the ultimate adrenalin rush, then lock yourself in and fish some of the largest Bluefin tuna in the world, and don’t forget the most important picture of all, the giant Bluefin tuna you caught! If you are looking for something between the land and the sea, then Port Hood offers amazing sandy beaches that are well protected by Port Hood Island and a rock breakwater. The water is calm and very shallow in places due to sandbars, which allows it to heat up early in the season and stay warm all summer long. Port Hood Station Provincial Park is a day-use picnic park with a 1km sand and cobble beach. The boardwalk trail leads you around the sand dunes and beside a salt marsh, offering great birding opportunities with all the necessary park amenities like picnic tables, change house, flush toilets, and interpretive signage. For you land lovers, located across the road from the beach is the Port Hood trailhead part of the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail, Nova Scotia’s first destination trail for cyclists. For the history buffs, check out the Chestico Museum & Historical Society, established in 1978 to preserve Port Hood’s history and heritage. Highlighting the history and heritage of the Port Hood area for locals and visitors. Once you are done looking at the past, it is time to focus on the present and head northeast for about 36 km (22 miles) on NS 19 route to Inverness.
