If you're interested in a mini voyage, you can take the salt-water ferry across to Dartmouth and back. This ferry service has been running since 1752. Enjoy! 

Dartmouth 

Dartmouth is surrounded by water - hence its nickname "City of Lakes." But, of course, there's a lot to do on land. Be sure to visit Alderney Landing, a cultural facility in downtown Dartmouth in which you'll find a convention centre, art gallery, farmer's market, theatre, and the Events Plaza for concerts and festivals.
