The Acadian Shore
Along the beautiful shores of St.Mary’s Bay, in the “District of Clare,“ live the descen-
dants of people who came from France in the 1600’s. Scattered over the Americas by
the deportations of 1755, many walked on to Louisana, but others returned here.
The world famous sands of Mavillette Beach on the Atlantic Ocean offer fishing, whale
watching, or golf at the Clare Golf & Country Club. A 10-minute drive away, in a small
fishing village, the gay-friendly Anchor Inn B&B (8755-Highway 1, box 19, Meteghan
Centre; 902-645-3390) has two guest rooms, and serves full breakfast each morning.
Area seafood restaurants include the Blue Rock, Around the Bend and Cuisine Robi-
cheau. The Comeau Farm Market in Meteghan Centre has yummie ice creams, fresh
fruits and vegetables, jellies, home-made pies, cakes and cookies, and seasonal ber-
ries. Try the rappie pie, an Acadian favorite with grated potatoes, savory meats and
spices.
Upper Clements Park, in Annapolis Royal, is Atlantic Canada’s largest amusement
park, with a roller coaster and summertime entertainment, June through August.
The Festival Acadien de Clare, the Clare Blue Grass Festival, and the Yarmouth Water-
front Festival are some of the local summerfests.
