Brier Island
Some people may think that Brier Island must be one of those barren, desolate islands where nobody can find a decent lobster! Rest assured, however, that is far from the truth.
In addition to its beautiful natural beauty and secluded charm, Brier Island is also home to a bustling community of friendly people who are happy to share their island's bounty with visitors. Whether you choose to spend your time exploring the many nooks and crannies of the island or taking in the stunning views from one of its many beaches, you will no doubt leave feeling refreshed and energized. So come on down to Brier Island and see for yourself why it's so special!
When you travel to Brier Island you have to take two separate ferries, one short ferry ride from East Ferry (on the Digby Neck mainland) to Tiverton, Long Island and another slightly longer ride from Long Island to Brier Island.
ÂThe ferry from East Ferry to Tiverton leaves the East Ferry side on the half hour (i.e. 1:30 pm, 2:30 pm, etc.). It takes about 20 to 25 minutes to drive through Long Island to catch the second ferry that leaves Freeport for Brier Island on the hour (i.e. 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm, etc.).Â
