Oak Island Resort & Conference Centre

Western Shore · Hotel ★★★★

Overview

Wake up on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean with salty breezes and life-altering views at Oak Island Resort & Conference Centre. Unwind in one of our newly renovated nautically inspired guestrooms or cozy weathered chalets. Enjoy fresh regional cuisine, live music, water sports, crackling bonfires, ocean panoramas and more.

Our resort is set overlooking the many tiny islands of beautiful Mahone Bay – an area overflowing with dramatic stories of swashbucklers, sailors – and a pirate’s buried treasure. Originally called The Long Boat Inn with just 32 rooms, a boat house and a glass-walled dining room for scenic eating, Oak Island Resort & Conference Centre of today has evolved into a year-round, full-service retreat with sweeping coastal vistas, countless amenities and activities, a bustling marina, and warm Nova Scotian hospitality – that attracts visitors from all over the world. In fact, it’s our friendly east coast service that keeps guests returning again and again. Our crew is ready to welcome you, or welcome you back, to our home by the sea, with a vacation experience you will remember forever.

Whatever brings you to us and no matter when you come, we look forward to giving you a warm Nova Scotia welcome, or welcome back, and an experience you will always remember.

Straight-line distances, not road or driving time. The real drive is longer, especially on coastal and highland roads and in winter; plan the journey with a current map and check road conditions before you set out.

This place sits in Lunenburg and the South Shore. The car or bus section of the guide explains how the main stops connect.
