Port Mouton Bay

Port Mouton Bay is located on the Lighthouse Route, on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. The Bay is a sheltered bay on the Atlantic Ocean with numerous beaches, islands, and an accessible, natural shoreline. Its white sand dunes are a rarity on these shores.

South West Port Mouton (pronounced Port Ma-toon) is a small fishing community located on the south side of the Bay. The fishing, especially lobster fishing, is the mainstay of the local economy. The locals also harvest moss, mussels, whelk and other species of fish. French explorers visited Port Mouton in May, 1604. Settlements began in the 1700's. Many locals are direct descendants of the original settlers.

South West Port Mouton, like its neighbouring communities, are real comnunities. They are not "manufactured" by a developer ... but functional vibrant communities that take great pride in their Bay, and their marine heritage.
