There's a harbour ferry stop right in front of the Canoe Club Brewery. From there, you can take the scenic ride to the Inner Harbour, Fisherman's Wharf, and beyond.

The french pastries are divine! We also ordered the most delightful birthday cake from here. They are such sweet people, and it's a lovely place to enjoy a pot of tea and a treat.
