Mo's at Five Islands"A hostel, art gallery, used bookstore, community center and a café with a wood-fired pizza oven, Mo's is a place with an identity issue.
Mo’s is set in the small rural community of Five Islands on the shore of the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia. The Bay of Fundy is home of the highest tides in the world, rising up to 50 feet in some areas The area is calmly beautiful and offers hiking trails, waterfalls, crystals, fossils, rare stones, blueberry fields and abundant wildlife. Check out www.notsincemoses.com and www.fiveislandsretreat.com for information and pictures of the islands.
Mo’s is a historic general store refurbished now a place for the community to gather. Mo’s will host live music, art openings, open mics, yoga, softball games, workshops and discussion groups.
Five Islands Provincial Park is just down the road from Mo’s. The park has hiking trails and beautiful scenery overlooking the Five Islands. Sunsets are stunning. Ask about hiking the beach at low tide. Nearby Parrsboro offers local theatre, paragliding lessons, tai chi, a geology museum, music, sea kayaking in Advocate harbour and more.
Driving from Truro you must make a stop at the Masstown market to stock up on supplies.
We look forward to meeting you!"

Hi There,
ReplyDeleteI work for Nova Scotia Tourism in social media. I just came across your post and wanted to say thanks for sharing. We always like to hear from our visitors and well, I learn a few new things this way about my own province. I will be sure to check out Mo's the next time I get a trip in to Five Islands.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Cynthia. Its great to hear from you. We sent a number of our booklets to Nova Scotia Tourism this year for distribution. We've heard reports that they are being distributed well there. They are a bunch of great enthusiastic people there at Mo's. Be sure to drop in. I know they would love to see you.
