Murphys Pond Harbour

Murphys Pond Harbour is a federally designated core fishing harbour located at Port Hood, Nova Scotia, on St. Georges Bay in Cape Breton.

Managed by the Harbour Authority of Port Hood under a lease agreement with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the harbour takes its name from Irish settlers Dennis and James Murphy, who received land grants in the area in the early 1800s.

The marina accommodates vessels up to 50 feet and offers 15-amp power along with a boat ramp. Four seasonal buoys mark the harbour approaches.

Murphy's Pond Beach, situated adjacent to the community's fishing wharf, provides calm, protected waters sheltered from open-bay conditions.
