Glace Bay is a local town with much to offer. Home to the Miner's Museum, a local experience that allows visitors to experience a glimpse of what mining in the dawn of the industrial area was like. Have a turkey dinner poutine at Collette's Restaurant, featured on Food Network's 'You Gotta Eat Here.' Drive the waterfront and stop by The Seafood Shop on the wharf to get some fresh off the boat delights. Or stop by Arlie's Gifts on Commercial St and pick up some trinkets and treasures.
