The Beach House

No cleaning fees. The Beach House is about 15 minutes from of Digby & Digby Pines Golf Course. It is the perfect base for your whale watching trip. Explore Annapolis Royal, Kejimkujik, Bear River & Digby Neck, but make sure you leave time to relax on the deck & watch the fishing boats, maybe even whales & dolphin. Comb our rocky, cobblestone shoreline for sea glass or a special rock. Swim our cold, clear water if you dare! Digby is a fishing port so there is always lots to see there too.
