Louis Head Beach is a picturesque coastal community on the Atlantic Ocean, with golden sand and abundant wildlife. For theatre, fine dining, museums, shops and other attractions, Shelburne is approximately 35 minutes away; while Lockeport is a 15 minutes drive. Lockeport ’s Crescent Beach is a stunning 1.5 km scimitar of white sand. A Beach Centre hosts a number beach parties and a Sea Derby. Also worth investigating is Nova Scotia's only Registered Historic Streetscape, made up of five houses built by descendants of Jonathan Locke between 1836 and 1876. The houses offer an interesting cross section of historical architecture with excellent examples of Colonial, Georgian and Victorian styles. Shelburne is a charming historic town set on a truly spectacular harbour unspoiled by industry or shipping. The Dory Museum is worth a visit - established in 1880, it was part of a vibrant dory-building industry. Charlotte Lane Cafe is perhaps the best restaurant along the South Shore.

Notes: Surrounded on three sides by sand and sea, Sanderling is located at the very end of Louis Head’s spectacular beach. Louis Head is a 3 km white sandy beach with a shallow grade and gently rolling waves. The water, warmed by the sun, make it an excellent beach for swimming, body surfing, sea kayaking, beach combing or for simply relaxing! A two-sided wrap around deck with a built in screened gazebo, and boardwalk that traverses the sand dunes and leads to the beach have the effect of extending the living space to the outside. So whether you are dining alfresco on the deck or simply relaxing listening to the waves, it is hard to miss the overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility.

Beautiful, peaceful stay on the ocean

Kellyearl Collingwood, ON, CANADA
Review Submitted: August 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We just returned from a week at Louis Head beach with our 2 boys (8 and 10 yrs). This property is immaculate - every room has an ocean view. The pictures truly do not do it justice. You are surrounded by beach, ocean and Sable River. We saw seals in the river and much sea life. The area is very quiet and you have very few neighbours. The water was brisk 17-20 Celsius but great waves and some body boarding. We went to Shelburne - about 40 min away to a great restaurant - Charlotte Lane. Mahone Bay is also beautiful will lots of shops and cafes but almost 2 hrs away. This area has beautiful beaches and very quiet - we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves - if you like a city nearby with everything you may find this a bit far. We would certainly go back to have some relaxing time at the beach in a gorgeous home.

Sun, sea and sand

Kipling South Hampton
Review Submitted: February 15, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
Our family couldn't have found a more perfect place to spend our summer vacation. The kids spent hours building sand castles, running in the waves and gathering shells. We basked in the sun on the deck and watched the day go by.

We loved Nova Scotia with its quaint harbours, brightly coloured fishing boats, miles and miles of beaches and friendly people.

Sanderling beach house is the perfect getaway. Our every need was met in style. We will definitely be back!!

Another World

Findley Toronto, Ontario
Review Submitted: February 12, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2007
Staying at Sanderling Beach House is like a vacation in another world. Sitting on the front porch watching the seals and the herons, I didn't even want to pick up my book, watching the waves was so captivating.

The house is beautiful, the furnishings clearly picked with care and attention to detail.

With so many things to do a short drive from the house, we could have been as busy as we wanted, but day after day what we wanted to do was walk on the beach, collect shells, kayak and cook good food.

We love Nova Scotia and Louis Head Beach.
