Seal Watching

Seal Cove is a 15 - 20 minute hike along the rugged Atlantic coast from either the Brier Island Lodge or the Coast Guard station located at the Northern Light. Low tide is the best time to find a party of Grey and Harbour seals basking on the rocks which form a horseshoe inside the cove. Check with the staff at the lodge for tide tables and directions.

Bird Watching

Brier Island is located on the Atlantic Flyway, making it popular for watching numerous species of birds, sea birds, shore birds and waterfowl. The Fall migration attracts bird watchers from all over North America and Europe.

Coastal Hiking

A few steps from Brier Island Lodge you will find nature/hiking trails that twist along the island's jagged shore to places of pristine, sea sculptured splendour like Pea Jack Cove. Keep an eye out for whales as they are often sighted from our shoreline.
