Exploring Fox Harb'r by Season
Get to know the North Shore, naturally.
Each season welcomes new sights and sounds to experience on the Northumberland Shore. In the Spring, stretch out the winter kinks with a peaceful stroll, leading to incredible birding spots. Summer is the time to truly get to know the unspoiled beauty of the Sunshine Coast, from land or water. And Autumn sets the region aglow in vibrant colours that can only be experienced one way; up close and personal. Winter experiences are dotted with days spent on the slopes in the valley of snow or exploring the vast network of backcountry snowmobiling trails.
