1869 and 1884 when fortunes were made and 3millions of dollars
in silver were extracted from a small offshore island. Take
a stroll through the picturesque village where some of the
original cottages have been preserved as private summer residences;
hike to the Sea Lion rock formation or enjoy tea and sandwiches
in the back room at the old General Store. Limited space for
overnight docking is available at the government wharf.
 Sawyer Bay & Tee Harbour Havens
