Wake Up Beside the Atlantic Ocean

WAKE UP WITH THE ATLANTIC

If birdsong and crashing waves drag you from your oceanside cottage at an ungodly hour, know this: we claim to have invented morning people. It’s the sunrise that gets you. Grab a coffee from our mothership, the Main Lodge, and head toward the Atlantic like a lovestruck seal.

Slip your feet into the surf and discover that locally crafted ales aren’t the only refreshing liquids on tap at White Point—it is the Atlantic Ocean, after all. Wander down the beach toward the golf course and spot other early birds along the way. Watch for our protected piping plovers, and the gossipy gulls who stick around year-round.

DAY TRIPS, WINE SIPS, AND SOUTH SHORE WANDERS

White Point isn’t just perfectly situated for sitting in a private hot tub with nothing but your thoughts—it’s also the ideal launching pad for day trips. Visit the UNESCO-designated Old Town of Lunenburg or Kejimkujik National Park and Historic Site. Affectionately known as Keji, it’s where you can explore Mi’kmaw petroglyphs and traditional canoe routes before looping back to the Lodge for happy hour.

Speaking of which, Nova Scotia is known as the Napa of the North for good reason. Zip across to the Annapolis Valley to witness the world’s craziest tides and sip your way through more vineyards than you can possibly hit in a day. Prefer to stay put? We’ll pour you a glass of Tidal Bay—Nova Scotia’s signature white wine appellation, launched in 2012 to reflect our cool climate, coastal terroir, and bright acidity. We’ll raise a toast in honor of our Celtic roots with a Slàinte.

MAKE IT YOUR KIND OF AFTERNOON

Afternoons see White Pointers happily scattering in every direction—to pickleball, golf, the Ocean Spa, or the bocce ball campo (often googling the rules as they pass bunnies on the path). The adventurous borrow bikes, kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards. The artsy paint rocks.

The curious can explore local history at Birchtown’s Black Loyalist Heritage Centre or the Fort Point Lighthouse in nearby Liverpool—home to artists and a mystical forest known as Concrete Creations. The blissfully lazy nap on the beach or their cottage porch. And that’s perfectly okay, too.

Make yourself at home in a Lakeside Glome, an Oceanfront Treehouse, or a classic Canadiana cottage. We’re accessible, kid-friendly, dog-friendly, and planet-friendly—boasting a hard-earned Green Key Distinction we’re awfully proud of.

AFTER HOURS AT WHITE POINT

As the sun fades, White Point’s welcoming Main Lodge becomes something of a lighthouse, guiding those with a thirst for more than just life. Founder’s Lounge is where new friends meet by the beachstone fireplace—over a hand of cribbage and live local music. If these wood-lined walls could talk, they’d recall generations of laughter, love, and lies about that mulligan on the fourth hole.

We fuel our family with fresh, local, farm- and sea-to-table cuisine prepared by an enthusiastic kitchen. No one goes hungry when fishing boats drift by.

Magic hour is when darkness tosses a sweater over your shoulders and holds your hand on the way to a beachside bonfire. This is the original social network—marshmallows on sticks become s’mores, strangers become friends, and sparks and conversations swim skyward toward the stars. Isn’t it funny how the same sky can look so different when you’re happy?

So the question remains: who could use a big ol’ Nova Scotian hug? The answer is undeniably you.

Let’s get you here.
