The season starts the last Monday in November and goes through to the end of May during this time these harbours are very busy with lobster boats coming and going, then during \u00c2\u00a0the summer months the fishermen begin to gather rockweed in the bay. Lobster Bay with its \u00c2\u00a0many islands are mostly privately owned\u00c2\u00a0 but some owners have graciously given paddlers \u00c2\u00a0permission for overnight camping.
