Across the wind-swept grass and beyond the still waters of Mahone Bay, the Oak Island Inn & Marina stands against a vivid blue sky — a hallmark of 1980s Atlantic Canada hospitality. The low-profile wooden structure, flanked by pines and picnic benches, invites quiet summer stays near the legendary island of buried treasure. A calm, sunlit moment where the pace of life slows along Nova Scotia’s coastal fringe.

Published by The Book Room Ltd., Halifax, this postcard was photographed by A. Burchell and printed by H. S. Crocker Co., San Bruno, California, in their Mirro-Krome colour process. The back includes a promotional description of the inn’s amenities at the time — from indoor pools and art galleries to scenic cruises. The handwritten date “Wed 6th ’83” confirms this as an early 1980s issue, likely circulated among holidaymakers and regional tourists.

In decent condition with no major flaws noted, this piece is ideal for collectors of Canadian maritime travel, historic hotel ephemera, or anyone with a connection to Oak Island’s lore. A nostalgic glimpse into Nova Scotia’s tourism era before digital brochures — when the journey was often sparked by a single image in the post.
