Brier Island Lodge is about two and a half hours drive from the Yarmouth/Maine ferry - maybe two hours if you synchronize your departure with the schedule of the two local ferry's you need to take to leave the island! Brier Island is "on route from Sydney to Yarmouth" - with an hour detour once you get to Digby (you have to drive up Digby Neck to get there...) - as far as I am concerned! It may be a bit more direct to go the South Shore route, but the Annapolis Valley route is just as spectacular and has just as good a highway to get there. The choice is yours!!!

Yes, Brier Island is on the route to Yarmouth (via Highway 101). However, you must leave this highway near Digby, and follow secondary roads to Brier Island (abut 70 kms.) You then return the same way to continue on to Yarmouth. You must take two ferries to get to Brier Island - one from the mainland to Long Island, and one from Long Island to Brier Island. The crossings are short (15 minutes). There is a fee for each ferry going, but not returning. It is a fun experience, but time-consuming.
