Encompassing the north-west cove of Petpeswick Inlet resides the LazyTide coastal property. In early 1900s LazyTide was home to a thriving clam factory. Later, in the fifties, LazyTide was transformed into the infamous LazyTide Dance Hall, as the social hub of the entire Eastern Shore. Following those rollicking times, LazyTide has remained largely fallow – until present!

Welcome to LazyTide, an all-season getaway destination, two bedroom ocean-front home, where rollicking times are still to be had .. though no dance hall bar or boot-legging on-site!

A 25-minute jaunt from Dartmouth, along Highway 107, brings you directly into the scenic village of Musquodoboit Harbour. LazyTide is a short stroll to/from the village, where more delights await, including restaurants, specializing in fresh seafood, Mediterranean dishes & pizza shops, an historic train station museum, art galleries, gift shops, a mouth-watering bakery/cafe with WiFi, pharmacy, bank, library, fully-equipped gym, new Tim Horton’s gas/food center, as well as our very own beer craft brewery.

Just a 10-minute drive down the coast from LazyTide is Nova Scotia’s longest expanse of white-sand beach. Our Martinique Beach is also a world class surfing destination, even throughout the winter months! The scenery along the winding coastline and through rolling farmlands of the Musquodoboit River Valley are always breath-taking whether toured by car or by bike. Numerous hiking, biking and ATV trails, provincial parks and heritage sites are within the immediate surrounds, as well as a nearby equestrian centre offering ‘English’ riding lessons and trail riding.

The LazyTide vacation property includes several on-site amenities: a private drive-in launch for guests to bring along their boat or sea-do. A kayak and bicycle with helmet & life-jackets are there for guests to enjoy [at their own risk]. A BBQ awaits sizzling steaks, while a large sit-around fire pit invites marshmallow-roasting under the stars. The ocean-side observation deck offers panoramic harbour viewing and ‘sighing into the sunsets’. A tiny crescent beach is a few meters down the cove where the harbour waters are exceptionally warm from early summer, well into autumn – great for swimming/snorkelling, though not in the winter! Another 7 km down the road is the charming East Petpeswick government wharf where folks can drop a fishing line for mackerel and sea trout, while enviously observing the ‘real catch-of-the-day’ brought in on the local fishing boats. Arrange with local seafarers for boat trips to explore the sea-coast or to fish off the shoals.

Additionally, the LazyTide property will very shortly be offering guests the opportunity to bring along friends with a RV. Full electrical hook-up on two lots with scenic views can be reserved by our guests at an extra charge.
