Evangeline Beach, Grand Pre, Nova Scotia

Another great place when visiting Nova Scotia would be the Evangeline Beach in Grand Pre, Kings County.  When the tide is out you can walk out quite a way.  It is muddy, and people love it.  There is the most beautiful view of our beautiful Blomidon can be viewed.  There is also a tent and trailer park to pull up and stay for a night or two.

A must see if visiting this part of Nova Scotia.

A great view of Blomidon.

All mud.  When our tide come in with millions of gallons of water, this area is covered.

So beautiful on a sunny day.

Nice place just to sit and chat.

Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia has so many places to visit to keep you busy for quite some time.  Even our local points of interest are never boring to revisit time after time. 

This is a place you can sit and relax and watch the tides go in or out.  There is a restaurant and Lobster pound right on the wharf, and is very busy every summer.

Always beautiful on a nice day.

The tide come in here and fills it up.

Another view from the wharf.

You can always find a crowd here.

When you leave don't be afraid to take the other roads and see what else there is to discover.  Like Cape Split.  The only way to get here is to walk.  About 1 hr 20 minutes one way.  But the beauty is worth it, well at least once. ha

This is a view from a place called the look off on the North Mountain.  You can go there and look over the Valley, so beautiful.

I was recently in another part of N.S. and someone told me they loved the valley because of the beautiful farmland.  I didn't realize until then that we do have a lot of farmland here compared to the shore where it is more ocean and fishing boats.  So both is worth the visit.

Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia

We are still taking our road trips within Nova Scotia, and I think we will never see all there is to see here.  Like on this trip.  I was never really aware that Cape Sable Island is the most southwest point you can go in N.S.  I also learned it has the tallest  lighthouse in Nova Scotia of 101 ft.  You can view it from a place called the Hawk.  There is also a place called the drowned forest, that can be viewed at low tide, it discovered I believe 1300 yrs ago.  There is also a carving in Clarks Harbour that was done in the early 1900's and has withstood many storms and is still standing.  The artist became well known in the US I believe.  So with all of this info, I had to make a journey there.

This is the lighthouse you can see off in the distance. 101 ft tall.

This rock sure looks like a hawk to me, maybe that is how the place got it's name, and it is facing the lighthouse.

It was very nice there, this is a place called the Hawk.


A very nice memorial to those lost at sea.


I read that this is where the Atlantic Ocean meets with the Bay of Fundy.

Clarks Harbour

There were a few beaches, this is one we stopped at.

The white sand extends around the corner, very  nice.

A piping plover.

The causeway that was built and the only access to the Island where once a ferry boat had to get the people across.
