Finlay Point Harbour
Finlay Point Harbour
Finlay Point Harbour is a small craft harbour situated at Finlay Point near Mabou, in Inverness County on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The harbour is sheltered in the lee of Finlay Point, a rugged coastal headland along the Gulf of St.
Lawrence shore, with its structures tucked behind dark rocky outcroppings. It is listed as a federal fishing and recreational harbour under Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Small Craft Harbours Branch.
The harbour features a breakwater that has undergone reconstruction, with the project involving removal and salvage of existing armour stone, installation of filter stone, and placement of new armour stone to a crest width of four metres.
The point itself takes its name from Finlay Beaton, a Scottish settler who arrived from Lochaber in 1804.
