Good floating docks, behind a stout seawall. Mostly small commercial fishing boats docked there. Room for about 4 transients. Nice staff, call them on the phone. Showers are $3 (loonies) for 5 minutes.

There is one power outlet for the transient dock, it is a four prong socket, that the staff says is 30 A. We did not have the right plug. It is not a standard two leg 50 A socket. Local fishing boats had splitters that create two 30 A connections.

There's a small carryout seafood and ice cream restaurant right there at the docks open noon to 8 PM. It is very popular with the locsls. There is nothing else near there.

Small, fairly protected marina and local fishing harbour. Friendly, helpful staff (thanks Will), and local boaters. My wife dropped a fender in the water and a super, 11 year old young man, on his birthday, retrieved it for us without being asked to do so (thanks Mack). $1.00 per foot, per night, including power. On-site showers $2.00 for 5 minutes. Nearest shopping is a 1/2 hour drive, one way, by taxi. Only reasons they did not get a 5 star rating. On-site take out has excellent seafood and other fast food choices. Bluefin Tuna Interpretation Center on-site.
