According to local legend, if the crew of a sea vessel couldn’t get along, the trouble makers would be left on the "Boxing Rock." The captain’s instructions as he sailed away: “Shake hands and share a beer, or box until one of you drops. We’ll be back before high tide to pick up one or both of you.”
Often, the two would duke it out and the winner would return alone to the ship. But sometimes a pair would appreciate the dry land beneath their feet. Enjoying the break from their labours they would agree to share the jug of beer. They would sit, laugh and drink together, breathing the fresh air and watching waves lap at their feet. Here at boxing rock, they recommend you make peace and drink up!
The taproom is known for great food, live music, axe throwing, a dog-friendly patio for nice days and of course - beer!

Traveler advice
Traveling with kids
Splash pad
In case the sandy shoes and towels become a bit much to clean, there is a splash pad and playground located on King St just 6-7 mins drive in downtown Shelburne that should do the trick!
