Amet Sound is a large body of water, an embayment of the Northumberland Strait, on the north shore Nova Scotia straddling Colchester and Pictou counties.[1] It takes its name from Amet Island, a small island just beyond the mouth of the sound in Northumberland Strait.[2] Because of its sheltered position, its bays and harbours are considered "safe haven" for yachts in the event of major storms.[3]
