Pollett's Cove

It has a 1000-metre, sandy beach at the base of a valley formed by the confluence of Pollett's Cove Brook and another smaller stream.

This account is included in Prenties' book about being shipwrecked off the coast of Cape Breton and being saved by Mi'kmaq (1780).

Around 1861, upon returning from Bay St. Lawrence, two of McLean's sons drowned a few hundred yards from the Cove leaving behind their wives and children.

During World War I Pollett's Cove was connected by a telegraph wire to the rest of Nova Scotia, to warn of German U-boats entering the Gulf of St.Lawrence.

In August, 2007, the owners of the main parcel of private land put it up for sale, after failing to conclude negotiations for its purchase by the province.
