Cape Days on Cape Sable in Barrington, Nova Scotia

On the second Saturday of August each year the residents of Cape Sable Island and Barrington, Nova Scotia celebrate Cape Days and their love for Cape Sable and it's lighthouse by spending the day exploring the island. Local fisherman donate their time and boats to ferry people from the main land to the island and back. On the island volunteers have hotdogs, lobster rolls and drinks and people spend the day exploring the island, looking for wild sheep and visiting the Cape Sable Lighthouse.
The lighthouse is the tallest in Atlantic Canada and the 3rd tallest in Canada standing at 101 feet tall. Typically on Cape Days about 400 people visit the island for free, however donations are accepted to help protect and maintain the island. You can visit the island year round but you just need to find a person with a boat to take you. On Cape Days they make it easy for you by having the boat rides arranged for free.
You never know what the weather might be like, hot sun, lots of fog, rain, etc. So come prepared and bring water and snacks just incase.

I drive to cape Sable Island 3 times a week you got your info wrong

[@TravelYourself]

You drive to Cape Sable Island yes, but I was on Cape Sable which confusingly is an island off of Cape Sable Island. There is a causeway you can drive across from the mainland on to Cape Sable Island. But Cape Sable is off of that not reachable by land you must take a boat. It's the only way to get there.
