Firebrand Island

The 28-acre Firebrand Island can be accessed via boat launch to the private community of Paces Lake, just minutes from Musquodoboit Harbour on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia.

The pristine Paces Lake is home to a handful of holiday home owners and permanent residents who cherish the value of a good neighbourhood and the wonderful surrounding nature whilst still being close Halifax.

The nearby Musquodoboit Rail Trail - www.mta-ns.ca/the-trails - is a popular series of interconnected hiking and biking trails, closed to motorized vehicles.

Enjoy the soft sand of the nearby Provincial Beach Parks such as Lawrencetown, Porters Lake, Martinique, Clam Harbour + Taylor Head Beach Park. Typically and in-season, these parks offer supervised swimming areas, surfing and kayak lessons.

Surprisingly, two of the Provinces most renowned rock climbing faces are located on the mainland opposite the island - First Face and Main Face. The River Oaks Golf Course in Meagher‘s Grant, just 15 minutes away,  offers an 18 hole and 9 hole course. Visitors and guest players are very welcome here. 

The local grocery stores, bakeries and cafés are also located within a 10 minute drive and fresh local seafood, including fish, lobster, clams, mussels and oysters, is always available.
