This area is great for bird watching, beach combing, hiking trails, birds, whale watching, gift shops, accommodations, restaurants, and unique flora and fauna.== History ==Loyalists founded Freeport in 1784 establishing fishing and trading industries. Prior to this it had been inhabited by the Mi'kmaq First Nation.Place names such as Petit Passage, Grand Passage and the Saint Mary’s Bay can be attributed to the French explorer, Samuel de Champlain, who first visited the area in 1604. However, the village itself was most likely named for Freeport, Maine, or because the water of and surrounding the harbour does not freeze during winter due to extreme tidal fluctuations, making it free from ice.{{cite book|last1=Hamiton|first1=William Baillie|title=Place Names of Atlantic Canada|date=1996|publisher=University of Toronto Press|isbn=0802075703|edition=illustrated, reprint|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UAvyE0pN5akC|accessdate=31 August 2017}} {{Subdivisions of Nova Scotia}} 4 : Communities in Digby County, Nova Scotia|Villages in Nova Scotia|Designated places in Nova Scotia|1784 establishments in the British Empire |
