Anchors Gate B&B is situated on beautiful Shad Bay, a deep but calm bay in the community of Bayside. Being 4kms from the open ocean, the bay provides shelter to weary sailors, a livelihood to fisherman and a playground to all sea lovers. With surrounding patios the lush gardens, peaceful waters and feeding birds can be enjoyed by those seeking a relaxing hideaway, yet the attractions of Halifax City is only 20 minutes away.

Upon entering our sun room there is an abundance of information on all areas of Nova Scotia, accompanied by a guided visual tour of the Nova Scotia Map by George, a historian.

Our dining room is where strangers become friends, overlooks the Bay and features hearty home cooked meals complete with our mother's homemade jams. Our home includes many nautical artifacts collected world wide over the years, each with a story to tell.

Anchors Gate B&B has 4 world class rooms the "Midship Quarter"; the "Aft Quarter"; the "Fore Quarter"; and "Crows Nest".
