What is next door
Walking the ocean floor at low tide and hunting beach glass along the Knook's own shoreline can fill a day on their own. Everything below is an easy drive from the door.
Seacow Head Lighthouse
The lighthouse is one minute from the door. It was Gus Pike's home and a filming location for Avonlea, and you can see it from the common room and the guest rooms.

Top Notch Lobster Tours
Go out on a working lobster boat from Charlottetown, haul traps with the crew, and finish with a lobster meal on board.
Beverly keeps current hours and directions for all of these at the house, and during fishing season she can point you to a lobster excursion.
Or stay right here
The red sand cliffs, the beach at low tide and the sunsets from the deck are reason enough to stay put, and the common room has board games, cards and movies for a rainy day.
