Within
5 minutes there's Hobo's Pizza and the Hearty Sole Tap and Grill.
Also
nearby is Our Lady of Grace Monastery. Originally a Trappist
retreat, it was established in 1825 by French monks. The Augustinian
Order took possession in 1938 when they came to Canada to escape
Nazi persecution. In 2000 it was purchased by the monks of St.
Maron.
The chapel boasts stained glass windows, marble alters, mosaic
tile work and fine paintings by a New York artist. A
short path nearby will take you past the Stations of the Cross
to Our Lady of Grace Shrine.
If
you want to relax near the ocean there is a beach 2 km. away
and a water front picnic park within walking distance where
you can watch the sunset.
Less
than 20 minutes away there are giftshops, additional restaurants,
a daily quilt market and entertainment.
The
Granville Green concert series is held every Sunday night and
features free outdoor performances by East Coast musicians and
local talent. The Rankin Family, The Barra MacNeils, Leahy and
Kim Stockwood are just a few of the artists who have given unforgetable
performances in past years.
