It's easy to see why Whirligigs is rated as one of the best brunches in Nova Scotia. We recommend the namesake, "Whirligigs" (think eggs benny with fishcakes instead of English muffin) with a side of homefries or their lobster roll is equally amazing. Try to nab a table by the window and watch the harbour.

It's "Pure Tatamagoodness" … hip vibe, live music regularly, a changing selection of beer brewed on-site. Drop into Dexter's Butcher Block for some beef jerky or pepperoni or a sandwich to go with your flight(s) of beer for an authentic experience. Tell them Michael and Angus say hi!

Sightseeing
An important part of our history, step back in time to see what went into milling flour from buckwheat and other grains. Check out the 'mill pond' above the water wheel for brown trout and other fish.

Another treasure - when the former owner of this sawmill suffered some health problems and had to retire he locked the door and essentially created a time capsule. A great place to visit for anyone interested in the way things work and architectural detail.

We are so fortunate to have an active community of folks who keep this walking trail well maintained. Located along the abandoned rail bed of the Intercolonial Rail Line, this trail is open to all for walking, biking and ATV's. Easy access to beautiful views across the water and even just under the shade of the trees. For a short ramble, start at the Creamery Square and walk along the trail to the Patterson Wharf where you can loop back up to Main Street or continue on to the train bridge crossing the mouth of the French River and look at the remains of Campbell's Shipyard

One of the only remaining grain elevators of its kind (i.e. post and beam construction) east of Manitoba, the Tatamagouche Grain Elevator is now home to several shops and artisans. Worth a look indeed.

It's pretty remarkable when you encounter someone who really loves what they do, and that's the best way to describe Sara. She says, "My pots are individually made by hand to hold a simple pleasure." Come see imaginative handmade stoneware pottery, local crafts, baskets from Ghana and wander the gardens. You can also usually see pots being made in her open studio on weekday mornings.
