2019 is the Year of the Lobster at White Point!

Welcome to the South Shore, home to the Lobster Capital of Canada and the Nova Scotia Lobster Crawl! This year we are saluting the salty souls of the sea – our Lobster Fishermen – and the #1 culinary export, LOBSTER!

We’re serving lobster, serving dishes inspired by lobster, serving up lobster fishing experiences and showcasing our cultural roots through arts and events – some join us, we’re sinking our claws into ‘crustaceans’ all year long!

Go Lobster Fishing … and feast on your catch!
That’s right, we invite you to climb aboard the lobster fishing boat, the JKC with Captain Brad Crouse. Embark on our Great Canadian Lobster Fishing Feast Adventure. Get to know your fellow crew-mates savouring lobster-infused hors d’oeuvres and turn in early as you’ll be rising with the sun to head out lobster fishing for the morning. From your catch that day, pick YOUR lobster that you’ll feast on for dinner. You can leave the cooking to us but you’ll pick up several tips and tricks from Executive Chef Alan as you aid him at the Lobster Boil. Of course, you’ll be feasting on our traditional Lobster Dinner, that you helped make possible.
Available only during Lobster Season, the dates for this exclusive experience in 2019 as as follows:
February 1 – 3; March 29-31; April 12 – 14; May 3 – 5.

Try ‘Lobster Season Surfing‘
Surfing here at White Point has long been known as a summer pass-time, but here in Canada’a Ocean Playground it’s a year-round sport – even better with the winter surf during the Lobster Season! Experience what it might be like to be a Lobster in the North Atlantic November – May, remembering, unlike them you will be wearing a winter wetsuit. Our 2 hour surf lessons will have YOU Hanging 10 and playing on the ocean surf … or at least giving it a try with the team from East Coast Surf School. So cool, literally!
