Launching from Pinkney’s Point Wharf you can explore Little River Harbour, paddle over to Comeau’s Hill and then on out to the Tusket Islands. Paddling out to the Tusket Islands is not for the novice paddler. Be aware of the tide, wind and fog conditions.<\/p>\n

Pinkney’s Point is reached by driving\u00c2\u00a0a 2km stretch of road winding through saltwater marshes. Have your binoculas handy, this is a good place to see shorebirds feeding. Pinkney’s Point is\u00c2\u00a0almost an island, a large breakwater along the road\u00c2\u00a0helps to\u00c2\u00a0protect the fishing boats at the wharf from \u00c2\u00a0the Atlantic wind and waves.<\/p>\n

There are no services along the road or in the village.<\/p>\n
