A Lifestyle that Heals
BACKSHOR was never just a brand, but a way of life. A slower way that drifts through changing tides and Stormy Weather. A place to reflect, recharge and embrace what lies ahead. From working Waterman and women, to those that are drawn periodically to its edge. The water and it's flow is inevitably a part of all of our life. Time measured by tides and changing landscape from near and far.
At BACKSHOR BAY, We embrace that flow and build off the heritage that came before us. To learn from our mistakes, and heal the wounds of the past. That place in all of us of peace and tranquility that only the Moon can phase. To all the waterways and edges alike, we strive to be good stewards. To share in Its Reflection of healing properties.
Walt Whitman said " Sail fourth- steer for deeper waters only. Reckless O soul, exploring. I with thee and thou with me. For we are bond for where mariner has not yet dared go." And there we embrace the balance of the unknown and the familiar shallower waters. Thanks for being in a BACKSHOR BAY state of mind!
