shopping experiences. Specialized shops that are considered the “Best Kept Secrets” with unique products made locally.
Chester looks out over the 360 islands of magnificent Mahone Bay, past the hump of Quaker Island to Big and Little Tancook and East
Ironbound beyond: that this is a sailor’s paradise is plain to see, for there are plenty of places to run before the wind but also hundreds of
sheltered coves and bays for idling and exploring.
The village of Chester was founded in 1759 by New Englanders. After more than 200 years it has become a place of pleasant cafes and
restaurants, gracious homes, treed streets and a timeless air of gentility. There are mansions and humbler homes, spilling up and down
hillsides and out on “the peninsula.”
The Front Harbour is where the Tancook ferry docks, and where the yacht club is located. The harbour is busy all summer with boats of
all kinds, many of them come up from New England ports or the Caribbean, for summer in Chester means yacht races, garden parties,
parades, good food and good cheer. The highlight of the season is Chester Race Week. The Back Harbour is the site of the Lido, a salt
water swimming pool, surrounded by some of the town’s most elegant houses. There are pleasant restaurants overlooking both harbours.
Visitors are also attracted by the 18 hole golf course, with its own splendid views to distract golfers, by the Chester Playhouse’s live
theatre productions, and the surrounding countryside, with its miles of unspoiled woodland hills.
