Our “small town grocery store” is located at the center of our resort community. Over the years, the store has grown along with the community and its needs. Locals stop by daily – not just for milk or to check their mail, but also for friendly faces and neighborly chat. Shearwater Grocery sells a full range of groceries, including fresh produce & dairy. We always have an assortment of specialty cheeses, and a variety of gluten free and dairy free items in stock. The store carries all the basic items needed to restock your pantry (or galley). The store also stocks a wide selection of alcohol, including beer and wine. Whether you’re looking for a cold beer on a hot day, or the perfect bottle of wine for a special occasion, we have you covered. Just inside the grocery store you will find our Canada Post outlet, capable of handling any postage needs you might have. Canadian, US and International Stamps are available so you can send a postcard home while you are here! Send and receive your mail while you are visiting. Please contact the Grocery Store to make arrangements if you need to send special supplies ahead of you as you make your way along the Central Coast to Shearwater.
