It was a lovely morning on the water with this family from Ontario. Parents in the back and kids in the front of a double kayak is always the way to go. These kids had a blast. Even three and five-year-olds can get on the water with us.

Local kids enjoying an amazing evening on the water.

ECO’s Kids kayaking is older than ECO itself. Started in 1997, Dave showed up in lower prospect with a trailer full of white water boats and everyone thought, that’s not normal… so having not much to do around the village, some of the kids wanted to paddle these kayaks on the ocean… and thats how it all started.

Always encouraging another generation of kids to get outdoors, adventure and have fun!

Check out this spicy ocean visitor spotted right off the coast in Lower Prospect! 🪼✨

Meet the Mauve Stinger (Pelagia noctiluca). What makes these jellies so wild? Unlike most jellyfish, their stinging cells aren’t just on their trailing tentacles—their entire bell can sting too! ⚡️

Such an incredible sight along the Nova Scotia coast, but definitely one you want to admire from a safe distance! 🌊👀

Have you ever spotted one of these floating in local waters?

Happy Natal Day Weekend, Nova Scotia! 🇨🇦🌊

Did you know that Natal Day is Nova Scotia’s “birthday”? The word natal comes from the Latin word for birth, and this holiday has been celebrated for generations as a way to recognize the history and heritage of Halifax and our province. Today, it’s the perfect excuse to get outside, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy everything that makes Nova Scotia so special—including the ocean.

Here in Nova Scotia, the sea isn’t just part of our landscape—it’s part of who we are. From fishing villages and historic harbours to rugged islands and hidden coves, our connection to the Atlantic runs deep.

There’s no better way to experience that connection than from the seat of a sea kayak. Glide across calm coastal waters, breathe in the salt air, spot seals and seabirds, and see our coastline from a whole new perspective.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to spend the long weekend, come paddle with us at East Coast Outfitters. Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, we’ll help you experience the very best of Nova Scotia—one paddle stroke at a time.

Happy Natal Day! 🇨🇦🛶
