Far from any transit highway, but just ten minutes away from the small
towns of Lunenburg and Mahone Bay, the Second Paradise Retreat is
located on a peaceful and scenic spot on Nova Scotia's South Shore. 11
hectares of green meadows and forest capture the peace of unspoiled
nature. The property slopes gently down to 500 meters of private
oceanfront.

Choose the accommodation that suits your taste, your mood, and your
budget. The Farmhouse, which dates from 1850, is the original building
on this beautiful property. You may prefer the modern Blue or Yellow
Cottages, or the bright and open Loft. Whether you want a family
adventure or a private, solitary retreat, you will find the right
place at Second Paradise. Each of our fully equipped and
self-contained guest houses enjoys an unforgettable view over the bay,
a few islands and the ocean.

Paddle a kayak and explore one of the many secluded beaches in the
area or jump from our wharf and feel yourself slowly drifting away
with the tides. Birdwatchers will enjoy the South Shore as a very
attractive habitat for a wide variety of birds. The picturesque town
of Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers visitors all
amenities.

The Second Paradise Retreat is a proud participant in the Audubon
Green LeafT Eco-Rating Program. The Green LeafT assessment considers a
wide range of environmental considerations such as, energy efficiency,
water conservation, waste reduction, organic landscaping and overall
commitment to an environmental policy. In each of these areas, the
Second Paradise's performance is compared to established best
environmental practices in the accommodation industry. Our overall
level of achievement is recognized by the awarding of four out of five
Green Leaves, which places the Second Paradise among Canada's leaders
in environmentally responsible management in the accommodation industry.
