best place for island kayak camping in eastern nova scotia?

We're experienced kayakers and don't want a guided tour - we like to camp on islands in scenic areas and move every few days. Are there places (like designated wilderness areas or Crown land) where you can just pick an island to camp on off the eastern shore?

Thanks Tanya! What a great site! Is there a way to find out which islands allow camping?

I looked at a lot of the Islands and I am not that familiar with the ones on the Eastern shore. Perhaps Tourism NS might be able to help you out or Natural resources.

Warmer waters are on the Northumberland side (Pictou).

You might also want to check out some outfitters - they may be able to help you with do's and don'ts in these areas. Try www.eastcoastoutfitter.net or www.coastalspiritexp.com
