A slow-paced life awaits in Oak Island. This beautiful island is privately owned and rests on the south shore of Nova Scotia. It is one of the over 300 islands comprising Mahone Bay. A scenic causeway connects the remote island to the mainland. Experience a sailing trip with Salty Dog Sea Tours to explore the island’s hidden treasures and main attractions. This one-of-a-kind boating adventure was made popular by the famous History Channel show, The Curse of Oak Island. If you have spare time, take your well-behaved furry friends to the nearby islet, Graves Island Provincial Park, accessible via a short causeway from the mainland. The lush park offers an expansive campground where you can enjoy picnics and outdoor activities while viewing the stunning Mahone Bay.
