Page "Mahone Bay" Paragraph 5

Mahone Bay also differs from St. Margarets Bay in that it is dotted with innumerable small and medium-sized islands throughout its waters.

The shelter provided by these islands, along with the summer southwesterly flow, led to the scenery around Mahone Bay becoming a tourist attraction in itself.

Today the towns of Chester and Mahone Bay have become a destination for cruising in pleasure yachts.

A scenic provincial park at Graves Island just east of Chester is a popular camping destination.
