Overview

Located in Pictou Harbour on the beautiful Northumberland Strait, the Hector Quay Visitors Marina has been a popular stopping place and seasonal port for over 20 years. Pictou’s fog-free harbour with deep water barrier-free access, combined with the warm, calm seas of the Northumberland Strait make it a perfect port to enjoy your boat and the offerings of our picturesque seaside town. Pubs, museums, shops, recreational activities and other services are all within steps of the dock.

The Hector Quay Visitors Marina is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors to take in the sites, sounds and activities on the Pictou waterfront.
