Brier Island is a great spot for the outdoor enthusiast. Two short ferry rides @ $7 CDN each for your return trips. After a whale watching excursion we did a little poking around. After a visit to the general store for gas & directions we set off to find Pond Cove beach. There is a small painted sign on a shed pointing the way down a dirt road. At some points it seems to be nothing more than a footpath. Finally, we reach the beach! It is helpful to know the tide times to be able to fully explore the beach at low tide. It is quite rocky at points but lovely sand beach beyond. Lots of interesting rocks, shells, & sea birds and we even spotted gray seals. Plenty of photographic opportunities to capture maritime life at it's best. Spend the day & enjoy exploring!

This is a great spot for swimming, building sandcastles, beachcombing, or all of the above! Whatever your pleasure may be, you will find it at Pond Cove.

These light houses are beautiful - -a must see when in the Brier Island area. Take a moment to view the lighthouses and just breathe in the fresh air of the coast. Well taken care of grounds and lighthouses.

It is fantastic that the crew turns right around and comes back if there are too many people lined up to cross. It was so nice to not have to wait an hour for the next crossing. Thank you!!!!
