Maskells Harbour

Drop anchor in Maskells Harbour on the Bras d'Or Lake and you've got over 460 acres of protected conservation land surrounding you — dense forest, rolling hills, and more than three kilometres of undeveloped shoreline. It's one of those spots where the quiet feels earned. The Bras d'Or is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, so the water and wildlife here are genuinely special — keep an eye out for bald eagles and harbour seals.
