Blue Rocks
A small fishing village southeast of Lunenburg where blue-grey ledges, colourful fishing sheds and boats make up the classic South Shore coastal scene.
Blue Rocks lies about 7 kilometers southeast of Lunenburg's old town and takes its name from the blue-grey slate ledges along the shore. Scattered through the little fishing village are red, white and blue fishing sheds and wharves, and small islands dot the sea. It is a favourite of photographers and painters. It is also a popular launch point for sea kayaking on the South Shore, with local operators renting boats and offering guides, so you can paddle among the islands to spot seals. The village is very small and a residential area, so please don't block the road when parking. It can be reached by bicycle or car.
