The main issue we've had wtih Poet's Cove is wind. Almost every time we've been in there, either to clear customs or stay in the marina on the way home from a Canadian cruise, the wind has been screaming (so to speak) through the bay and making it an absolute bitch for everyone trying get on or sometimes off a dock.

Other than that, we've always enjoyed our overnights there. The crabbing can be good in the bay, too.

On the subject of Canadian waters, but near the US, one of our favorites is Sidney Spit, particularly in the off-season when the crowds are gone. Great view in all directions and a really good beach. There are a fair number of mooring buoys or, if it's not crowded, one can go to the dock. A bit tricking getting in and out but once one learns the channels (there are two of them), it's pretty straightforward.
