O/S means off season and occurs September to June.

This year is the year of the lobster here in Shelburne County. I encourage everyone to take some time this year, gather the family and enjoy one of the most delicious meals you can have. One of the best ways to enjoy leftover lobster is to make a dip. This recipe is one I use and it seems to satisfy. I take it when ever there is a shower, or when friends gather. I like to chop my lobster and onion up together in a food processor which makes it very fine. My mom (who I got the recipe from) likes to just chop with a knife which makes for bigger chunks. So which ever you prefer. Add as much lobster and onion as you like. I use about a small handful of onion and twice as much lobster as I do onion. Blend the other ingredients together first and then add the lobster and onion.

Mom's Lobster Dip
2 Tbsp milk
1/3 cup ketchup
drop of Worcestershire sauce
pinch of salt
pinch of garlic salt
3 Tbsp Miracle Whip
pkg cream cheese
onion
cooked lobster
Blend together and Enjoy!

Check out our events page for a list of all the local suppers, festivals and other unique activities going on this Fall. For all you bird watchers Cape Sable Island is the place to be for those birds migrating south. Fall colours start the last week of September and go right into the end of October. It's the prettiest time to take a drive down south; down the South Shore that is. So we'll see you when you get here!

Bird Watching

Boulder Cove has many residential birds who love to impress guests with daily sitings. In the spring listen for the owls living by the lake, hooting back and forth to each other. During the summer chatty kingfishers and large osprey fly the Bay looking for herring and mackerel. And in the Fall the Bay is conquered by a majestic Bald Eagle watching for prey like the different sea ducks that float around. Don't forget the Brant Goose Fly-Away in February and March. Guided tours of the property and/or the county are available.
